"Yes, mundane life can be a little off-putting, I agree. Nevertheless, it pays off to assimilate. You'll learn, Fer-- Aleister." She bowed her head graciously as she acquiesced to his request to be called by that name. "You should go drive that car back, dearie, I expect you're a couple of hours late to work."
With that, she dismissed the man that had driven them here. Instead she reached for her son's arm and pulled him along as she headed up to the porch. She unlocked the key and stepped inside, taking a deep breath. "Ah. It will smell like home soon enough."
She turned to the men that had gotten out of the trucks, calling out to them. "Please just put everything in the right room, according to label. And unpack, carefully. Except for anything for the basement, that's not for your hands or eyes."
With those instructions given, she took Aleister's hand and pulled him along. "Isn't that a darling fireplace? So utterly charming. Now, what's with the long face, pet? Do you have to be such a sullen teen all the time?"
