Avice glared at her and then stomped to the balcony where she crossed her arms across the chest and stood for a long time.
Emma shook her head and turned her attention to her brother. "Angus, how are you?"
"I am well," he replied with a grin. He grabbed her hand and pulled her to the bed. "Emma," he said with excitement. "You live in a huge house! This is so much more beautiful than ours!"
She giggled and ruffled his hair. "Well, it is a palace. What do you expect?"
"I want to see it all!" His eyes went wide. "How long will you keep us here? Mother said to father that she would go back in two days. Can I please stay with you? Please? Pretty please?"
Emma laughed at this enthusiasm. "You can stay here for as long as you want, Angus!" She loved to see him again after so long. Angus was just the same and was healthier. "But won't father scold you?"
