Afraid that Tobias would be bored, I had the maid bring out the set of Legos the kids enjoyed. “Do you know how to play with these?”

He gave a clueless shake of his head.

After all, he had been moving from one city to another with Camelia these few years and probably never had the chance to have fun like a normal kid. Needless to say, toys were a foreign concept to him.

 

“Come, I’ll show you how. See, every piece of Lego has a serial number. Assemble them all according to this diagram into a complete model. Then you’re done.” I crouched down and picked up two pieces, fixing them together, and gestured. “Just like this. Understand?”

“Yes.” A slight smile finally appeared on his face. He immediately started piecing a few segments together.

“Looking great, kid.” I tousled his hair and showered him with praise before returning to my tasks.

“I want a bunny!”
