Sun Mote Copse a name is just a sound someone makes when they need you.

Elwood Sr. Sr. was right - Elfie would not be convinced by Eljay to obey in a matter that he thought was very stupid and useless to begin with. His dad was not much fun nowadays and his son tried not to blame him for it and leave him on his own. There were plenty of distractions around to keep him busy and he made best of it. Plus, neither his grandmother, nor grandfather were opposed of many things he did and for this reason he trusted their judgement more than his father's over-protective ventures. 

"I won't," Elfie told him bluntly and still remained rooted on the spot. "Why don't you get up here - or are you a... coward?" he pushed his luck further, teasing his father in that annoying way kids do. In fact, there was a bit of an edge in his voice, he had added a personal insult, just to prove a point.
