"Where I'm from, adulthood hits between 18 and 21, and I'm still off 18 by a couple months, so...I don't want to get caught out..."
Isabel paused a few steps back, blinking at the back of Eleven's head. "Wait, someone's gonna be looking for you? Who?"
She didn't wait for him to answer, but bulled on. "No, no, wait. Hear me out. I'd take the lecture, and here's why. I'll come with and back you up, because those dudes weren't gonna take 'no' for an answer. No diplomacy either, I heard you try. So we'll tell him that, and hopefully he won't be mad and take it out on you the next time you spar."
It made sense to her. Her dad didn't have a bad temper, but he was only human, too. There were times she had to defend harder if she'd upset him the night before.
