[There is silence for a beat or two while Devin considers the relative wisdom of snapping at Zephyr.]
She has a mind of her own and I will neither keep her confined to my apartment nor leash her to me wherever I go. You'll find she's surprisingly capable for a ten-year-old, lack of opposable thumbs aside. [Meira was, after all, still a Hellhound. Slighty more amused:] She got you to make the phone call, didn't she?
I'll reimburse you if they won't put her purchases on a tab for me.
Never said she didn't have a mind of her own. Good job letting your kids wander unaccompanied and depend on strangers, though. Remind me not to let you babysit.
[Asshole is not said, but Zephyr sure hopes it's understood.]
[Zephyr clearly has no idea what he's just done with those words, or he might think better of saying them. It strikes at a forbidden hope, and settles heavily on the belief that Devin is only good at destroying things. For Meira's sake alone, he won't march down to that cafe to break Zephyr's jaw, no matter how tempting the idea is.]
And here I thought I was the king of cruel and insensitive assumptions. You can have that crown; I'm done with it.

Don't worry, I'll take care of it.

If you insist on paying, be my guest.

[...Yep. Zephyr feels a little bad about that one, but it's not like he had any other information to go on.]
[So now they both get to feel bad! Party. He puts the yimo away and goes back to Meira.]
