WHO would do all that? Who did that for Jake?
"Mother's family house elf died when she was younger. She won't have another one." So that was sort of the end of that. They had a Randal instead.
Neptune lead Jake over to the bookshelves and began a very methodical search for fashion history books. "Of course you'll have a top hat. And you'll carry my parasol." Giggle. "And we'll be very sophisticated, high class citizens. Elite, you know."
"That's sad," Jake said after a moment. He couldn't help but feel sadness for any creature that died whether he knew it or not.
But moving on.
Jake... decided to let Neptune do the skim-reading of book spines and stuff... he still needed to focus quite hard on words and was noooooo good at skim-reading.
He wondered vaguely if Neptune's family would mind about that, but pushed the idea from his mind.
"I can't honestly imagine you being anything other than elite."
Heck yes, he could say things like this all day... because they were sooooo true.
