Sun Mote Copse Family is forever

Yeah, you can help. Take that squirrel of yours away and never return. Was Elfie's mental answer to Minori's inquiry. He was getting bored and wanted some action. Bronco's ears were deliciously within reach and having a rough and tumble game with his younger cousin would be a welcome distraction in this moment, where so little action took place.

On the other hand he somehow felt that this was neither the time, nor the place to do so. Though he hated to admit this, Niamh's authority was palpable and he had a bad feeling that until he had been given a verbal command to go and do as he pleased, he should remain next to Bronco and at least try to appear respectable.

So he did. With effort. 

Last one from me. You can skip Elfie from now on.
