Jaymes looks stoicly on. But aa SLIGHT eye rolll

"See? There! Nostril twitch!"

"Okay, okay..he ...he can come" trying to control her laughter , she looks at Jaymes' martyred look and breaks out laughing again.

"I'll even buy the popcorn" Jaymes says

"Sweet. I'm gonna tell Sy."

"You do that" Jaymes says "AFTER your chores are done"

"They are!"

(Narrator: They weren't)

jaymes raises a brow, "Your room is clean?.. bed made up? "

"We aren't going to the movie right now.""

"Great, then there's time to clean your room and make your bed" He gives a SMILE, but it's not a real one. He should stick to nostril level

"But I'm gonna go to bed, like, way soon."

"Oh? You're skipping dinner then? "

"Nobody even sees it!"

"Siv sees it, Tove sees it, I see it. YOU see it." He points out, "And you realize that if you put some of this energy into actually doing the job instead o putting it off you'd be a quarter of the way done already"

She rolls her eyes. "Family doesn't count."

He stops at something, then smiles, not that forced too big bit he did,a real smile that actually does slip past his nostrils "Okay, you don't have to do the bed tonight...but you do need to clean your room. Family might trip on that cluttered floor"

A teenaged huff. "Fiiiine."
