Arlo Seys's calm gaze swept over to Nico Haynes, who was about to step forward and make a move. Nico immediately stopped and laughed, "Boss, I was just joking with her!"
Only then did Arlo retract his gaze, lowering his eyes to gently speak to the person hiding behind him, "Ariel, let's go get something to eat. Haven't you always wanted to try that old noodle shop in the east of the city? Let's go there now."
Ariel Morris stepped out from behind him, smiling charmingly at Arlo Seys, her tone soft, "Sure," she said, hooking arms with Arlo and starting to walk. After a few steps, she stopped, turning to call out to Dawn Sutherland, "Brother Dawn, hurry up, Arlo is treating us to food."
Dawn Sutherland smiled warmly, "Sounds good, thanks to Ariel, I get to mooch another meal today."
"..." The forgotten Third Young Master Haynes jumped angrily, "What about me? Boss Seys!"
