Re: Ben | Five
If nothing else, Ben had had an awful lot of time to reflect on what people around him had done wrong or stupidly, and how he might have done it differently. Being able to see something happen from start to finish basically all the time was tiresome as much as it was a learning experience.
"I'll try, anyway," Ben said, because he was very aware of how single-minded and awful Klaus could be when he got in a Mood or need. All of their siblings were like, that actually. Five included, in some ways. "Good luck with your math." he said, taking a drink of the beer he didn't like. Because it was in his hand still, so why not. "You let me know if I can help, too." That was what family did. Or was supposed to do. "In the mean time, I'll leave you to it." He paused for a moment before raising his shoulders into an almost shrug. "I'm glad you're here."
