Kellen, of course, grabbed something for everyone, and since he was the only Guide of the group, he wasn't allowed to carry either one of the trays of drinks. Even when he gave Rhys a sad look, the man shielded his eyes from Kellen, making his Aunt Dina laugh.
"Wise to his tricks, huh?" She teased, smiling and Rhys nodded gravely.
"He's used them on me many, many times." Rhys placed a shaking hand over his heart, looking withered and said. Kellen glared at him.
"Oh like you don't like it." Kellen muttered and Uncle Parker turned away from them to smile. Rhys laughed, leaning in with his tray of drinks to kiss Kellen's cheek.
"I am very willing and open to being manipulated by you. You know that, love." Rhys promised, his yellow gaze warm as he stared at Kellen. Kellen muttered something unkind under his breath that had all of the Espers around him letting out soft breaths of laughter. They took the elevators up, chattering and bickering the whole way.
