Ah good, you did strike me as of a similar age as Kevin. It's the correct ballpark though, yes?
[Beatrice nods along to the age lores, because it's not like '15' and 'young adult' means much different to her. What is a few years to someone where they've started to blur together? She remains amused, corners of her lips curling up around the hand pressed now to her mouth.]
Goodness. What you describe is a much less..acrimonious interaction than I expected. Leaving with all his limbs intact is impressive indeed. A high standard for how it typically plays out. If only we had known that apology blood gift baskets were the way to the Nation's heart. We can add ribbons to it in the future - for that special personalized touch.
It is - good though. If surprising. That it was taken in the spirit it was intended – most wouldn't have tried, or thought to.
[A humorless half smile.] After all, Mr. Beckett is quite correct that your, ah, eloquently put point about the practical downsides was likely why it was written, but no one ever thinks the consequences of dire warnings will happen to them. Oh no, surely not.
