Elias wouldn’t be seen EVER sweeping floors, that’s what the staff were for. Who needed to lower themselves to such petty little chores when they could afford to let others do it for them? “I never said I was doing any cleaning. Besides, brooms can be charmed to do the sweeping for you.” So there!
Eli had never been described as sweet, not even when he was much younger and had an Angelic face with big brown eyes. He’d been arrogant and stubborn since he was in nappies. Ezra not taking the bait and complaining about having a toad named after him only wound him up more and he scrunched his nose up in response resembling a rabbit more than the big fierce dragon he hoped he looked like. “Mr Ezra Toadwood and he’ll be covered in WARTS.” Big and brown and slimy too.
But all that brotherly jesting (albeit quite one-sided) and teasing came to a stop the second Ezra wrapped his arms around him and Elias froze stiff as a board. With the exception of their mother, this was not a family well established in their physical affections with one another. Affection was shown through respect and conversation and proving yourself worthy to each other. “Get off meeee” he whined trying to wriggle free.
Truth be told that Elias didn’t mind a cuddle every once in a while but in PRIVATE and not in front of all these other children he was showing off to.
