Ron Pope - A drop in the ocean.
Grayson felt two hands under his armpits and he sighed some as he turned only his head to look at Sebastian. "Hey!" he greeted and Gray couldn't help but grin at the sight of the beaming expression on his step brother's face. He'd been less keen to accept his new father into the family but his little Bastian was just too adorable to ignore. Granted, they were the same age, but Seb was just so tiny compared to him that he always called him little Bastian. "How was it, outside?" Sebastian asked and Gray shrugged some. "Amazing, as per usual," he replied, soon followed by a light chuckle.
By this point their mother had wandered off into the kitchen and continued to prepare their dinner, but as per usual she popped her head back into the hallway and requested that he pick up eggs from the shop as quickly as he could. "Oh, and take your brother, won't you?" she asked, practically shooing him out of the house.
Gray's eyes fell to Sebastian, who didn't look ready to go outside, and shook his head. "I don't need an escort," he muttered. Ever since the incident with Leo, his mother had never trusted him to go outside on his own, which was understandable in a sense but still... it was getting sort of irritating. "Don't mean to sound rude, Bastian." With that, Grayson exited the house for like the third time that day but this time he didn't head straight to the forest, instead he took the route to the shop which wouldn't usually have taken him long on any ordinary day.
He hadn't been paying full attention either because he felt something on his chest and when his eyes finally caught up he noticed a girl that had been knocked over. "Heh heh, my fault. I am such a klutz," the girl said as she stood up and Grayson couldn't fight the urge to chuckle some. "Not at all, I wasn't paying much attention either, so don't worry about it." It was only then that Grayson studied the girl's face and realised that she wasn't from around Ashwick because he was outside all the time and he'd never seen her before in all his eighteen years of living in the village. "I've never seen you before, are you new or something?"
