Natalia was right where Avice had left her, still holding Aubrey in her arms. "It's true," she was saying with a nod. "He had a giant cut over his eye, and the blood and aqueous humor all flowing out. It was a sight to behold."
Aubrey's eyes shot up, almost guiltily, but Natalia took a moment, looking at Avice as if she had interrupted an important meeting. "Punishment."
Jack rolled his eyes, coming over to Natalia to give her a hug. "Don't do that, Nat," he chided, coming back to Avice. "You're scaring her." Natalia squinted at him for a moment before relenting, relaxing slightly as she bounced Aubrey on her hip. "Fine. Where are you two going?"
