"Riddles, huh? Well, that just seems like a bunch of codswallop! Why not just be straightforward with us?" he commented, placing his hands on his hips in exasperation with a frown. He sighed heavily and opened up his arms to give his cousin a giant hug.

"In other news, why the dickens did you stand me up last week? And why haven't you been returning my calls and messages? Did I upset you somehow? I've been very worried about you, Jade." He remembered going to the park where they agreed to meet last week and having her never show. Then, he kept calling and messaging her and grew more and more worried after the only family he knew he had left with each passing day. It relieved him to know she was alright, but now he wanted answers.
