Re: Ernie and Theo
Ernie smiled as his new friend did, but then noticed the heightened anxiety after mentioning family. I guess I'm not the only one, then. He didn't want to douse the mood so he did his best to shrug it off.
"Yeah, but most people have issues with their family, right? My Da's just being a judgemental arse. He'll get over it eventually." He hoped.
If anyone could lighten a mood, it was Ernie. He looked at his glass consideringly before plucking up the little umbrella, twirling it between his fingers a moment before oh so seriously placing it over his right ear. He then turned to his companion with a clever grin. "There. How does that look?"
