"I did see that movie he was in," Hildred remarked with a nonchalant shrug.
"That's only because I made all of you watch it," Wulfric replied. "Just promise me you won't pull your usual tricks on Aster, alright?"
"What? I'm always on my best behavior," Hildred protested, feigning offense. He then turned to Edmund, seeking support. "Right, Ed?"
Instead of answering, Edmund glanced between Hildred and Wulfric, his eyes darting nervously. He lowered his gaze and stammered, "I- I have no opinion!"
Seeing that, Slade laughed out loud. "Hey Hil, stop teasing poor Ed so much. This is the reason why, up until now, you still couldn't get what you want."
