[Now that there are no longer any drones in Jane's household, her most easily accessible source of blood is gone. But don’t worry, she’s managed to coax this little drone boy into following her home for dinner! …Okay, maybe worry for the poor little drone.

They're just outside 1248 William’s Road- Jane is impatiently tugging on the unfortunate

... Jane?

[hurtjustalittle]

E-England!

Hi, Mr Kirkland!

Quiet, you.

[is_an_island]

On a playdate with this lad?

[hurtjustalittle]

Ew! No way, girls are-

We’re just having dinner.

[cheesewithwine]

Mon dieu, that is with all...[Just going to stay. Out. Of. It.]

[hurtjustalittle]

Hi, Mrs. Edgeworth. Did you really make cookies?

[Behind him, Jane nods vigorously.]

[cheesewithwine]

[And she takes notice.] Oui...they are...cooling off right now.

[hurtjustalittle]

Are they chocolate ones?

Yes, yes, they're whatever you want them to be. Now just get in!

[wondering_eye]

You don't seem the type to invite children over for cookies.

[hurtjustalittle]

You have clearly misjudged me.

[wondering_eye]

...If you don't want people to think you're suspicious, then don't act so suspiciously.

[hurtjustalittle]

What's suspicious with giving one of my classmates a snack?

[miss_enma_ai]

[Well she was coming over to see you but there's a ...boy? Just going to look at you curiously now.]

[hurtjustalittle]

Oh, hi Ai. Did she giving you cookies too?

[And Jane is just glaring at Droney.]

We were just talking...

[miss_enma_ai]

Were you.

[Looks over at the drone boy impassivley]

Who is he?

[hurtjustalittle]

For now.

He's... just one of them. He kept chattering at me all through recess at school today.

[The drone boy looks vaugly confused, but doesn't try to run yet.]

[snapshot_brat]

Isn't that a drone?

[hurtjustalittle]

I have to do a project for school together. It's nessicary to bring him over.

[Droney opens his mouth to protest, but Jane gives him a subtle look that causes him to promptly close it.]

[snapshot_brat]

Really? That's a pain.

They'd better not try to make me do anything like that.

[hurtjustalittle]

You could probably skip out on it. But I have to be a good girl or they will drone me. I already miss two days of school a week.
