"Meh, if agreeing when I really don't agree will keep other people happy, they can be miserable for all I care," Jake shrugged, twisting both ends of the grass braid so it wouldn't unravel.
Holding his creation up as if to admire it, Jake glanced at Lawson. "I didn't stress you out much, did I?" he asked, kind of knowing the answer but wondering how Lawson would reply. To keep busy, he tied the braid around his wrist, making himself a nature bracelet. Tralala.
Marcus looked at Jake in surprise, he had been pretty sure that the boy would have agreed with him on that. They'd had their fair share of run ins during the year and Marcus knew that he had not handled most of their encounters very well at all. But then again Jake, had grown on him like no other kid had. "I guess I have my moments."
He watched as Jake started to braid pieces of grass and he plucked a few blades of grass from the ground and attempted to do the same. He chortled softly at Jake's comment. "When you get older and females become the most important thing in your life, you'll change your mind. Believe me they have a way of doing that and they do it without using magic too." he shook his head as he continued to try and braid the grass without much succession. Women were still a mystery to him even now.
Aww Jake's braid looked awesome. Marcus held up his creation and frowned, his looked like a dog's breakfast. He stared at it for a moment before replying to Jake. "I would be lying if I said that you didn't cause me some stress Jake but you weren't the only one. I guess because you are one of my favorites..."he trailed off a little surprised at his confession. He cleared his throat and looked at his handiwork again. "I'm not very good at this" he admitted with a sheepish grin on his face.
