Neena continued to stare at him, seeming as if she might actually take him up on his offer. The wheels were definitely turning up there. Roland could only hope they were turning in the right direction for him."I think your expectations of me might be a tad high, Jordan, but routines do get old after awhile, and I could use a change in mine. I'd be delighted to spend an evening with you. On one condition."Roland's grin perked up considerably at the agreement as well as the use of the first name, as fraudulent as it might be. He raised his eyebrows in chin, in anticipation of this one condition.
Smiling, she hid the milky orbs from him beneath her dark glasses once more."I don't really care what we do, as long as it doesn't include any of that pampering you mentioned." A rough and tumble girl, just how he liked. Not at all afraid to get dirty.She even grimaced when she said the word pampered. He made a mental note to avoid fancy dinners and whatnot." That's perfectly reasonable. A small price to pay for your company. " She turned and put her official tone back on."Now then, should we continue the tour? The grounds are pretty extensive, and there is a lot that your daughter might be interested in hearing about.."
Roland put his own business face back on." Certainly yes, let's continue." He was really thinking about what fate lied in store for his imaginary daughter. Death and consolation from her? That was a bit trite, even for Roland, though he could see himself hiring actors for a fake funeral. Perhaps she decided she didn't want to be in a school with other mutants, preferring a tutor or nanny. That did seem to fit the spoiled Daddy's girl routine more. By then, he hoped to be seeing Nehanda regularly, so it wouldn't really matter.
