"Laura doesn't even know about the dance class. What she doesn't know won't hurt her. I figure I'll tell her a week before the next performance." She shrugged and smiled. "And that's what I thought. Adults are weird." Laura was too overprotective. Still she watched, uncertain as June scolded Kasimir. She wouldn't have thought the other would have. "...You shouldn't call people names, Miss June." She murmured. "It's not nice. It can lead to suicidal i-dea-ation." She sounded out the last word, obviously something she had only ever read. "It says so in our health book."

Kasimir's lips twitched and he smiled. "Be sure to tell Miss Catherine also. I'm sure she'll be curious. You're practically her grandchild, after all. And don't worry. June and I play fight a lot." He eyed her, unimpressed and then shook his head. "And you wouldn't dare. Summers and I get along like cats and dogs." He said simply. "For the peace of the council, don't make me work with him any more than I must." He didn't mind the children. He minded Summers.
