Re: Theo & Ernie
Ernie's heart dropped into his stomach when he heard the warning in Theodore's voice. He couldn't figure out why it was there, what he'd said that would have put his friend on guard against him. The one saving grace was that it seemed like Theodore was allowing him to sit next to him.
It was something.
"I can," he agreed, trying to look apologetic but only succeeding in looking like a kicked puppy. "But I like to flatter people, compliment them, let them know I appreciate them and like them. Maybe I just got a little too much in character, though, and I'm sorry if I said something wrong."
