"Well.. " She looks at Richard. "He really doesn't need to be at the house today."

He grumbles and goes to fetch some tea.

"He'll get in the way."
"I won't, I swear. I just want to do my job. Please?"
---
"Thank you." She smiles.

"He could stay.. at a distance."
--
"I'm not very good at tea. I'm better at coffee." He puts water in a kettle.

Richard rubs his head. "Fine."

"I do appreciate the effort."

"Okay. Let's go." Walk!

Hmph! He stares at the kettle and wills the water to boil.

Richard walks.
Stephen limps after. "Um, before I fall back, why shouldn't I be in the house?"

Smile!

"Trust me, please. I don't want to talk about it."

He finally gets some tea prepared and walks it over. He thumps it on the table. "There."

He sulks but follows quietly.
"Where would you like to eat?"
---
She is a middle aged woman with graying hair and deep wrinkles around her eyes. She carefully sips her tea.

"Anywhere. I'm buying, so you decide."
