Sufferin' snorkelblatz!

"Oh, really? Jupiter nodded firmly. Yes, really. He was wearing his serious/innocent face; Regulus was supposed to believe him. Even if he didn't, Jupiter was going to go to his grave professing that lie for no other reason than that he'd said it out loud. He was committed now.

When Regulus showed him his scars Jupiter's eyes got huge. "Wow!" It sucked that his mom punished him, but on top of going on an adventure he got super cool scars. In Jupiter's mind the punishment had been worth it. As for what would have happened if he'd gotten hurt... The boy shrugged. "Yeah, prob'ly, but I would have gotten cool scars like you!"

His smile faded as Regulus mentioned taking him home. He didn't want to go home; he wanted to keep exploring! Briefly he considered protesting, but then it occurred to him that doing that would undermine his story. And it wouldn't really hurt to go with him, would it? The day was still young; he could walk home with Regulus, accept his punishment, and be free with plenty of time to play before dark. It would all work out.

Confident in his plan, Jupiter perked back up. "Okay!" He frisked forward - unknowingly jostling Amadeus around - and moved to stand beside Regulus. "Artemis Aeris." Wait, what had Regulus called him? Leanbh? "What's that word mean? L-leanbh?"

"Jupiter" "Amadeus" "You"
