For a second, Dalton wasn't sure that she was kidding. But of course she was... Wasn't she? He laughed either way, thinking that she might laugh along with him to prove it was a joke. "That would explain it."
He smiled back at her, glad that the truth made her happy. "You are special and I would do that. I'd only have people over if you wanted to have a party or something. This place is pretty good for parties." He looked around quite fondly. The mansion felt better to him now.
He raised an eyebrow at her comment, grinning playfully again. "I can show you. And I can also show you what they don't want us to do in them..." He took the bag from her as though it would be heavy and his arms flew up toward his face. Laughing, he rubbed his nose with one hand and swung the bag in the other as he walked with her. "I'm glad the bear didn't eat you. Maybe sometime you could invite your brother here, so he can know his sister is safe if he worries. As long as he doesn't bring a bear."
