James brought his hand to his head and gave his brother an injured look. But then he looked back to the man and nodded. Noah meanwhile looked sulky when the man told him not to hit his brother. Well he couldn't compare his childhood with James'! He had been a faster runner!

"We are very grateful, ser," Noah said, when the man explained why he was doing what he did.

But James tilted his head. "If its not much to you, can you give us more money? My mother needs a lot."

Noah raised his hand, dropped it when he remembered the scolding, and rolled his eyes and groaned instead.
