Bill watched her quietly for a moment, not really sure what to say or how to say it. That had been a bit of a theme. "Well, if it would be less trouble that way, I suppose we can do it that way." He still missed having people around. At least one person. Maybe Toire would do well as that one person. Maybe he'd just take a few days and come back. Toire and him for a few days and then back. That he could work with. "Mum fusses too much." He didn't need fussing.
"I think she'd like to stay," he said quietly, voice barely above a whisper. He thought he might like her to stay, too, but what would happen if he needed to do something in the middle of the night and couldn't? Maybe he'd just get their father to stay. He would be less trouble than their mum. Maybe Charlie, though. "Leather might work best."
