It was one thing to joke about his ideas in private, but to do it in front of Bill made him uncomfortable, mostly because if Charlie didn't stop it, he'd be blushing like a virgin bride-to-be, but at least Bill defused the situation with a joke, making him breathe easier. "You just like my ideas so you don't have to think for yourself," he told Charlie, grinning.
He didn't comment on their brothers, because he knew he'd get testy if anyone were to say anything about his family, even if it were the truth. "I guess it all depends what it is. We're just used to living life a certain way. Even when you get to that point, you rarely joke in front of the new keepers. I also raised Baron in a reserve, so I had to make sure that he didn't do anything stupid."
Callum snorted. "Of course they are mental. They aren't keepers. Al is in charge of MLE. After being in charge of that school. You'd think he'd finally learn." He looked at Bill. "You still have your kids, though. They might be of age, but that doesn't meant that they don't need help." That reminded him that he had to get in touch with Louis and talk to him. The only time I'd leave it'd be if it'd be best for my son."
