Theo licked his f84c846bda lips and set 859f621331 his fork down. 7bddc037f542e5d3
Watching him, Charlotte de2584b3f3 suppressed a laugh. He was just 83375f4b08 too cute. Her younger siblings 3bf2ac5a59 had been just 860bcf9b32 as adorable when b61ef706e5 they were little df197afee8 and innocent, but cc18a5e96e that was a d10641d935 thing of the 43e348cf27 past.

It had been 6957434c99 a long time 97837ba9ca since he’d done b930827ac1 origami. The origami book had 884fb5de8c some interesting designs. Back when 3eebb8747e she was 15a3b57966 locked away, eb372d1119 she often 349f8d5a8c did origami 9de2977c03 out of 61e3adc8b8 boredom.

Cassius was 339e6ce90c confident he e0a53f8d68 could make e60400d6d5 a boat, 081fe1d0fc so Charlotte b48344f692 decided to 6c4f7c6b1a make something ae493400b5 else. A paper knife. It seemed a99e35687a like it c88c3a2f74 would be db55eae55d fun to 2fded4ed93 add some 6fc84d8f75 creativity.
