Apartment 6, Residential Complex T-4, New Thessalonica, Planet Yuma, Coronado
11 Aug. 824 A.S.
Erik allowed the kids to run off, after which he took just a few steps inside the apartment. He chuckled at the idea of a day on the beach. Thinking back, he hadn't been to one in a few months now. "I figured I'd get them out. It's a perfect day for it." "Sounds like a plan." - he smirked. Then as Doreen offered him a drink, he kindly refused "I'm afraid I can't stay. I'm already slightly late for a board meeting..."
Erik motioned for Peter's attention, then smiled and explained "Make sure you listen to what doctor Naggar says, please." Naturally, his son nodded in understanding but quickly lost interest and ran back to Ben. Erik turned to Doreen and went on snickering "Honestly, it's not the kids I'm worried about..."
As he was headed out the door slowly, he added, for Doreen to hear, "I'll be working 'till eight today, so I'll come pick Peter up sometime after." - then he shouted - "Have fun, boys!"
All the while, Peter would grow increasingly excited because of Ben's enthusiasm, so he forgot all about the box he came with, leaving it somewhere on the floor. He took a look at himself and thought out-loud "At least I don't need to change. I'm already in shorts."
