Gloriana placed her hands on her hips. "Not this again. Can you set aside your stupid diversions and distractions for once in your life? We are your family, you know! This was supposed to be a day out for the kids!"
Ves did not even register her arrival. He had entered into such an intensive state of concentration that he only had one purpose in mind!
His children were already accustomed to this behavior from their father. They did not see it in a bad light. They differed from their mother in that sense.
