Levi wanted to tell Declan that he was in fact always nice, especially in the library, but he knew this to be untrue so he mostly kept quiet and pretended like he'd suddenly gone deaf. He chanced a look around, careful to make sure the librarian wasn't anywhere in the vicinity, and took out another cold muffin.
"I hope that wasn't a threat, Althea." Levi said his mouth only a little partially full. "I can write, too, you know." He often did. Mostly to incriminate himself and confess to all his sins because guilt was a terrible thing. His mum had truly done super well.
The boy unscrewed the cap of his water bottle and took a big gulp. "How???????????" Levi was suddenly very interested, and though he tried to look very concerned, he mostly was trying very hard not to smile in anticipation. "What did it look like??????"
