"Janet knows me." If Sean had been wide-eyed before, his eyes were almost half the size of his head now, and Paddy got the distinct impression it was best to leave him alone for the time being. He would have anyway, but it was nice to have that affirmation. People needed time to work things out after a large shock. It was how much time they needed that varied from person to person. "I've pointed people in her direction before. She trusts me. If I take Saffron there, she won't think twice about making up a bed for her."

It was strange, how new all this magic business was at first, and how used to it Paddy now was. So used to it, in fact, that when Solomon claimed they weren't followed, Paddy could guess how he knew that so certainly. Maybe, given time, he wouldn't even need to think it over. Paddy was looking forward to that day, honestly; trying to think logically through magic all the time could not be good for one's mental health.

Paddy turned to Sean, and his voice became gentle. "Do you need some time?"

Sean nodded mutely. He was still trying to look everywhere at once, and his eyes still seemed to be trying to enlarge themselves to allow for that. Paddy nodded knowingly. "I'll go stop your mother from cleaning up, then. You stay here. Solomon, if you wouldn't mind keeping an eye on him for a few minutes, please? And..." He paused, gaze flickering towards Vex. "Try not to show him anything? I'll be back with his mother before long." And having Erin walk in on someone waving magical fire about the place was the worst thing Paddy could think of to happen, barring the Temple or anything magic-related.
