"No
I won't!" Violet yelled, somewhat quietly not to scare her
siblings. "A 14, 12, and 4 year old children up against a man,
quite villianous? Us? I can't handle it. It's no use. We won't win.
We can't win, and we're not going to try."
"Yes, you are. Don't act like this. With your inventing skills, Klaus' researching skills...Even Sunnys biting ability." Quigley said with a chuckle, thinking about why and where she'd bit him. "You three can get through anything together. I don't know my siblings the same way you know yours. I aim to have a family as yours is."
Violet looked up and smiled, "You're right, Quigley. You're right, and quite smart."
"See. Thats the smile I like to see. Your own..Violet smile. Thats the first one." Quigley said.
"Huh? First one? Smiles?" Violet asked.
"You know. I think you have different smiles. For different occasions. One, when you're with your siblings. Two, when you've invented something. And three, when you're with someone you feel safe with. I've heard about your encounters with the judge, Justice Strauss. You felt safe. Klaus explained your smile and Sunnys, how you three felt inside. I was fascinated to hear of your excursions!" Quigley explained.
"Really? Wow, Quigley..Thats sweet." Violet said. Duncan now had a jealous rage in his eyes. Trying not to cry in front of Klaus.
"Duncan, come on. Will you please play cards with us? We need 4 players. It will be loads of fun! Really, Duncan." Klaus said assuringly.
"No! No! No!" Duncan said, furiously. "I can't take it anymore!" As he walked over towards Quigley. "Quigley!"
Quigley answered clearing his throat, "Yes, Duncan?"
"Wouldn't you rather talk about us? Isadora and I?" Duncan asked...
