Bo raised his eyebrows and grinned. He pointed at Telos. “They have lots of cheese. It’s a good selling point. I don’t think I’ll make you pie with it though. That just doesn’t sound right.”
He sent another glance out the doorway towards the neighboring apartment.
"And if you need any help moving things, well, feel free to ask, provided I'm around. I work most evenings, but feel free to knock and see if I'm around."
He put his hand on the door, ready to close it. "I'll see about getting to those nachos tonight. I hope settling in goes well."
When he returned to the apartment, he found that Aquarius and Zephyrus were still trying to pick which toys they wanted to bring over to Bo's. They had run into the same problem they always ran into - Aquarius was too nervous to make any suggestions of his own, and Zephyrus wanted to please Aquarius so much that he didn't make his own suggestions.
So Télos compromised.
He grabbed one of the books he had gotten from the library and sat down on the couch. It only took a second for his brothers to realize that he grabbed one, and only took another few moments before they rushed over to his side. Both were old enough to read on their own; if anything, they were better readers than most kids their age.
But they both loved hearing stories be read to them.
Less than an hour later, the two had fallen asleep leaning up against him - tired from the chaos of the move.
Don't aim at success--the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side-effect of one's dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself. — Viktor E. Frankl
