It would be then, as he read each of their faces and absorbed their reactions, that he knew he was not the best at relating to children - especially not these children. He could understand their coldness and combativeness, they were Armada through and through. He could be ornery like this too and so on some level he understood them. But seriously, did they think that two adults would take time out of their lives to lie to children? He followed Lysis' lead, trying to soften his features while still seeming genuine about what they were saying. When Lysis had said her piece, he chimed in - deciding to try a different method of relating to his half nieces and nephews. "You know, you guys are smart not to believe us." There wasn't a hint of patronizing in his voice as he continued. "I mean, we haven't given you a whole lot of proof, have we?" He shifted his gaze placidly between the lot of them, trying to read their responses - however minute or bold they might be. "So tell me, what kind of questions would you ask of two adults you don't know anything about?" Why not put the ball in their court? "How about we make a deal? If we can't answer your questions, we'll do your chores for you today." What kid didn't love a challenge? He rested his chin upon his paws unobtrusively, emerald gaze shifting from one child to another before finally landing on Sirius. He imagined she'd be the one making the decisions. |
