Arrival!

"Before we move, I need to review the plan with you all," Issac said, grabbing Clause and Emery by the collar as he pulled them to him. 

"But, we already know the plan, dad," Emery whined, flailing his arms up and down. 

"It would be wise to review it, just in case." Clause said as Emery immediately agreed, nodding. "Go ahead, father." 

"These two …" Royce chuckled, shaking his head, "I can see why people have a hard time getting close with either of you." 

"What do you mean by that?" Emery asked, crossing his arms over his chest. "Someone was trying to get close to Clause? Who is it?" 

"I am sure uncle is talking about you, Emery." Clause said, tapping on his brother's shoulder. "You are quite popular and I have been seeing leeches around you." 

"Eh?! Really? I thought I drove them all away." Emery tapped on his chin, thinking. "Should I have been meaner to them or something?"
