So when Ashley blatantly LIED to them all, his eyes widened and he shook his head. No. No no no no no! She was not taking credit for this! Not by herself!

It was a shame though that he didn't really get a chance to interject before Gavin started talking, and then Avery too.
.....

And WHAT were they on about? No such things as heroes? dead people? stupidity?

"Last time I checked Emily is a hero," he said with all the seriousness of a ten year old. Did he think she was stupid too? She caught bad guys for a living, and put them behind bars and stuff. How was that NOT heroic? Hhhmmm?

But that was besides the point, and now he saw that he couldn't bend the truth any longer -- ahem, massive bending and stretching of the truth, yep. Removing his hat, and mustache, and beard, Zeke focused on Emily first, and then Gavin. "Ashley's a liar," he blurted out, "It was my idea to run off, I wanted to go an adventure and see and do things and you guys were being boring and slowing us... me... down," he started, convinced he was digging his own grave now. It was a shame he'd never get to see Hogwarts, it'd have been cool beans for sure. "I wanted to get stuff and have fun in the alley, maybe set of fireworks..." dungbombs, or other things, ".. but then Ashley found the mustaches and she thought it'd be better to dress up smart and proper, y'know, important like. Like how you two do when you go to work." Perhaps a hint of flattery there. He was already a dead man walking, what's the worst that could happen now? "So that's when I suggest we come here and have a look at their fancy hats and stuff, cause a joke shop isn't where you ought to go for fashion stuff... it's poor quality. Ashley just went along with it all." She was the idiot follower, not the idiot, clearly.

Now that he was done, maybe he ought to look at his feet, he didn't like his shoes, they were boring, but he couldn't stand to look at them anymore. Was Emily going to arrest him now? ~~Could he finally see the holding cells?!~~

Emily wasn't sure whether to laugh, roll her eyes, or break something. She didn't believe Ashley's honest declaration. The girl knew Gavin, knew the charade wasn't going down with either of them, and this was perhaps her attempt at salvaging the situation. Admirable, but idiotic.

"You forget two things," she started to Gavin, unfazed by having a conversation about the children in front of them, as if they weren't even there. "First, I got him like this, and second, I never said I was parenting material." Hadn't he been the one to suggest she'd be fine? Apparently he'd been wrong. She was a lost cause when it came to children, that much was clear now.

This life long lesson he and Avery were preaching, piqued her curiosity, resulting in a brow raise and a stare at them. Trust Gavin to fill the girls minds with gibberish or if anything, half truths. There were no heroes, but there were those smart enough to survive, strong enough to survive, and powerful enough to make a mark - leave a legacy. The corner of her lip twitched as Zeke questioned the logic - not incredibly well, but it would suffice.

She listened patiently as Zeke too confessed, and her mind was already made up as far as his guilt was concerned. He lived under her roof, she saw his many faces, and this one was guilty. So onto more important things. Disciplinary Negotiations. "Now," she stated, unwilling to stand around in a shop for much longer. "How many, and what rules did you break? And what do you plan to do to redeem yourself?" she asked, her words for both of them though she focused on Zeke. He'd been down this road before, he knew what was expected.

There wasn't much guesswork to be done in order to figure out that her story wasn't bought. Not by Emily who'd already assumed Zeke to be the one with the grand idea and not by her Uncle who was now lecturing her for exactly what she'd done, or rather letting Avery do it. If you asked her her sister loved that job a little too much. It was no wonder they wouldn't believe though, what with the way Zeke was suddenly looking at her. For now she ignored the looks he was giving her while she tried to keep her gaze from wavering with her Uncle.

That became harder when Zeke couldn't accept the most 'fundamental' fact of life. Heroes did die. Her Uncle had let her and Avery watch at least a hundred movies where they didn't make it out alive and she was convinced, she just didn't think a trip to Malkins was that serious.

She snickered at Zeke mentioning Emily was a hero. That..........wasn't very convincing at all but the snickers were quickly stifled in case she got a flick to the ear for it.

Then he did it. He completely shot her point down, taking full credit and making her out to be a liar on top of it all. S'what she got for trying to help. Might as well not have tried if he was going to do that. Her Uncle was right. Ashley nodded. "True. It's all his fault. Yanked me down the street faster than I knew what was happening. I'd have screamed but didn't think you'd hear so I went with it. The mustaches are my fault and you need to pay for them but Malkins was his idea too. All his, completely." He wanted the blame? It was all his. Ashley stepped closer to her uncle wrapping him in a hug and looking up at him with the biggest and most innocent eyes she could manage. "It was meant to be a joke Uncle Gavin. Didn't mean to make trouble."...............Emily was talking PUNISHMENT. If possibly her brown eyes got wider. "My stomach hurts." No punishment. No. Non. Nuh-uh!

"Right...right, you got him like that. Thought you had a knack for straightening things out." He said, a brow raised in amusement. Though he didn't doubt she COULD straighten what she wanted. Law Enforcement gave you the know how and she was heading that Department. Whether Zeke would grow out of this or not he didn't know but it wasn't something he could see in the near future. Not while he was still so young...

.....

And clearly impressionable. Gavin didn't acknowledge what he said. He wasn't an idiot, and knew his answer wouldn't have been right in any context. Yes, Emily was a Hero but he wasn't about to give his take on that. Not if he wanted to keep his girlfriend. Just gonna ignore that. All that mattered was that his nieces knew the truth.

Just look. His wayward niece was finally starting to act accordingly. It was a task in itself keeping the amused smirk off his face as his niece went off--granted he could tell half of this wasn't the truth either but this was more like it. This was what one did when in trouble. He would not be raising Gryffindors thank you. Gavin measured her innocent act, wondering how impressed he'd objectively allow himself to be with it then Emily mentioned punishment and Ashley took the cake. A classic Avery move sans the tears. The scowl was fast cracking as he nodded toward Emily. "Convince her your stomach hurts too much for punishment and you're off the hook."

She didn't know what was going on. Did Zeke do it or did Ashley?? Which one was she meant to be upset at for abandoning her?? Avery's head turned from one to the other as she tried her hardest to understand but nothing was making sense and she just wanted ice-cream.

Ashley finally agreed it was Zeke, he now owed her ice-cream--oh oh oh but then her stomach hurt?? Was this her cue too?? "Uncle Gaaaaavin. You can't punish her, or she'll die." See what a good sister she was? She made for good backup. "I think we should have ice-cream, on account of her stomach hurting." She said, looking to Emily with a grin. Ice-cream now, yes? Everyone?
