Theta crosses one arm in front of him, gripping his other elbow.
"I just want to know if he was what I thought he was,” Theta says.
“You’ll need to explain what that means to Wash,” North says. “Remember, he hasn’t been listening to your thoughts.”
“I know,” Theta says. “Well…I expected him to be fun, and smart, and to like to tell stories.”
North gives a small exhalation, something like the beginning of a chuckle. “Theta really wanted a big brother in Alpha, I think,” he further explains.
