Faustus managed a weak smile when Terry hugged him. He gave a small nod. "Thank you," he said quietly.
But Ben's unabashed reaction made his smile become a little more genuine and he hugged the younger boy back. "I liked it," he said then watched with widened eyes as Ben suddenly hugged his Dad and called him Bat Man. He wanted to laugh but he suspected that his father would not be impressed so he quickly swallowed the smile that threatened and ducked his head.
He did kind of get the feeling that maybe Ben had been a bit lonely and he hoped his Dad wasn't going to ground him forever so he could spend some more time with the younger boy. He'd try and talk Henry into joining them but he wasn't sure Henry would be interested. He was so serious about everything.
