"They love you, Adam. They want you as the part of the package wheter they stay together as man or wife or not. And I think either way you want to be part of their lives too. It does hurt though, I know you're also in pain. And I'm sorry. Just know they're not doing anything to hurt you with a goal."

"It hurts anyway. My dad and mom.... I mean... and Lily... she's to got to be...."

"They love each other and then... and I... "

"Adam, it's not your FAULT they're testing their relationship"

"No. No Sir. Thank you."

"I see he's doing it to you too," A voice. His father has returned , the voice sounds weary

Adam's expression solidifies from what he shared with Magnus.

"I won't be dictuming your son, Mister Thomas, and I think if you think it over, you'll not want me to" Magnus says to the troll

"Yes, well,"Kyle says "You're probably right."

Adam remains silent.

Kyle looks at his son "Adam, I'm sorry I even considered that. "

"Thank you." with a tilt of his head.

Something his son says, or doesn't say, seems to be a relief to Kyle "Son, we still have a half hour. Would it be okay if we went some where and had a meal? Maybe a burger king? We'd probably eat outside , of course"

"........... if you wish, yes. sir."

And his face falls again

"Adam..I really miss being called Dad"

"Where's my mom?"

"Your mother is with Lily" He says

"Good. She needs you."

"She's got her mom right now. She's fine. In fact, Lily is a very kind little girl who is handling things... bravely" Kyle says

"Yes, Sir."

((BRG))

(Be Right Grumpy)

Magnus observes the Sir being used again and shoots Adam a look

(BRB!)\

"No, she isn't. Lil is plotting shit. And you......" he see Magnus watching "Sorry. My bad. You're good. "

"No Adam, if Lily is in trouble or in danger I need to know" His father says "Please"

"I best be going" Magnus inclines his head and steps out

"This" His voice can be heard "Sounds like a family matter"

"I don't know if Lily has anything doing on."

"You just said she's plotting shit" he reminds
