"No, I mean, wake up from seeing Octavian as a model son, when he's the opposite of that."

"When we were searching for you, he didn't even seem fazed by you being kidnapped. He had the audacity to tell me that I should listen to your mom and throw the ball, instead of looking for you myself. He said you were probably hiding somewhere and doing this to receive our attention," hah.

What can I say? I am not one bit surprised. That's something Octopus would say.
