Rye looked to Layna, then James, his lips sealed. He didn't know how to answer the young boy, and he wasn't sure if he should even say anything. For a short period of time, an uncomfortable silence overwhelmed the table once more.
Pft! ...Ha! Ha! Ha!
Failing to hold back his laughter, James burst out laughing uncontrollably. Layna and Rye smiled at James' joyous laughter, but Leo and Jenny could only frown in agitation. They could not understand why he was laughing. Was Leo's question funny?
Catching his breath, James smirked at the perplexed Leo. "It's funny, you would ask, after all the warnings I have given you, and you have only been here for one day."
His smirk broadened, making Leo more agitated. Speaking again, James let his eye's scan the people who were sitting at the table meaningfully.
