Of COURSE Benjy came up on THAT part of the conversation. Garrick's eyes shot open and he sent his cousin a death glare. "There is nothing unusual about the color of my cheeks." Brat.

"Where have you been skulking about anyway? Auntie and Uncle sent you back at the proper time... left me all alone with mum and dad. Not even an owl from you." Maybe he was being a bit dramatic and bitter? He had been ABANDONED there with his bickering parents, though. Hmph.

"Oh yeah. This is my cousin. I'm sure you know Benjy, though, yeah?" Everyooooone knew Benjy and no one seemed to dislike him. Ever. He was all macho and stupid while Garrick was nice. Still baffled him as to why people favored Benjy...
