[Youth braced for it at his son's name, at the pause. Good things did not tend to follow pauses like that. Enthusiastic? Okay. He could take enthusiastic. He'd heard that about himself more than once.]
Yes. He is. [That was to Cloud. Bell got a look. Maybe he was slightly stubborn, but he wasn't that bad. Though Bell probably didn't mean it in a mean way. Probably.] I can take advice.
[He nodded in agreement with Bell's other statement, though.] I apologize for the imposition. I will be ready to go soon. [In theory they could leave now. Youth would be slow, but they could make it home. Probably. If he wasn't heavier than Bell he wouldn't hesitate. If he'd been alone he wouldn't hesitate either. But he didn't want to be a burden to Bell. His son was already out to get his partner. There was no reason to make things worse.]
