Ella gave him a critical look then, "you can't ride a bear, they'll eat you. Did you live in a forest?"
As she asked that, Patrick carried the tea things in and set them down on the coffee table in front of Will and Clio.
"Patrick!" Ella jumped back up from the chair again. "Come help me pick out books!" she yelled, grabbing his hand and dragging him back up to her room.
"Oh! It appears I am helping her pick out books!" Patrick grinned and he allowed himself to be dragged away.
"Yeah, Will, didn't you live in a forest?" Clio repeated, and then she snorted loudly.
