Sophie wanted to jump up and down and hug him but settled with just beaming "Awesome. I'll tell mum when I talk to her later tonight."
Cleaning shoes? Ewwww. Cleaning things were definitely her least favourite shore but it was just one of the things you just had to do regardless of your feeling towards it. Smiling Sophie followed Orlando down to lane 5 where shoes were stacked beside the bowling balls. Choosing a pair of red bowling shoes Sophie slipped them on before turning to her half-brother smiling. "Thank you for saying that. But it’s a long way to go before I can title myself healer." Going over to the bowling balls she picked out a blue ball and weighed it in her hand. "So who shoots first?"
Smiling he nodded "Sounds good." he was slightly nervous about meeting the family after so many years, but it couldn't be that bad could it? No, he was sure it would be painful but it couldn't be like the last time, where he'd ended up walking out right at Christmas. He'd just go in with a smile for them
hopefully not to pained and hope for the best.
Following her down to where the alleys were, he headed for the rack of shoes and grabbed a pair of black ones and set them on a seat by lane 5. "I haven't done this in awhile." he said with a shake of his head "Kind of sad considering I work here." Looking up at her comment he just smiled "Yes but your on your way at least, which is better then I can say for myself, went to school to be a liaison and I sit here in the bowling alley." After testing a number of balls, which were either too light or the holes too small, he finally settled on a silver one, "Feel free, I'll put my shoes on while you bowl." Setting the head into the slot he sat down and pulled his trainers off.
