He looked over at Maddie as she gave her thoughts on the spectrespecs and considered. "I.. think she needs something fun," he said finally, pulling a pair off the shelf and turning them over in his hand. "She...gets lonely and everything at home is so... serious." He spoke more to himself as he considered the gift in his hands. Mairwen deserved something fun. Something quirky. Something that didn't have to have a real purpose. "I hope not." But now that Thornton had brought it up, the brunette was curious. She picked up a pair of spectrespecs for herself and gave them a sniff, then another. Her conclusion, they didn't smell as bad as the shop. A good thing for business, surely. Setting them down, she turned her attention back to the Baines boy.
"You're a really good brother, Thornton." Maddie had a bit of experience with brothers so she felt she had the authority to say so. Plus she'd spent some time at his house so she could see how it might be hard on Mairwen, being there all alone. "You could also send her some of my origami paper and one of my origami books, if you want. I've got so many books now that I wouldn't miss one." Not that she needed the books, anyway. She knew most of the folds by heart.
"Think I should send Benny something?"
