“Aye, what is it?” I asked, giving her an eyebrow waggle.
“You didn’t make time for therapy last week,” she accused.
I grimaced. “Sorry, I was doin’ some axe throwing with Balin and Annie. It was meant to be therapy. I wanted ta see what it is they get up to, and spend some, y’know, family time.. ”
Aqua rolled her eyes. “Schmoozing, that’s what they get up to.”
I nodded, chagrined. “Aye, that and a lot of actually hitting the target. I managed one in three or so. Not bad, I’ve practiced before, but not great.”
Aqua sighed. “And I’m certain they spent a lot of time talking about hitball and then compared throwing techniques.”
“Ugh. Yes, how do they even have time to keep up with hitball stats!?”
“They make time.”
