Lady screeched and beat at Ego's back, "Put me down! Put me down!"
"You're acting more like a child then Tyler," Ego snapped. He dropped Lady on her feet where she stood dumbstruck as Ego crouched down to Tyler's level, "Hey kiddo."
"...Hi Mr. Skyland..." Tyler said slowly, "What's wrong with Mrs. Skyland?"
"Tyler, I'm afraid you're having a memory problem," Ego said softly, "That's Lady. You're seventeen years old and she's sixteen, turning seventeen in a week."
Tyler still looked confused, "I don't get it."
Ego chuckled, "Yeah, I thought you wouldn't. Listen, how about you and I go back to my house, okay?"
Tyler didn't like the sound of that, "If I'm having memory issues, then wouldn't it be better if we go to that lab the other girl was talking about?"
Ego glanced back and whispered low enough that Lady wouldn't hear, "We'll go there first, but we have to pretend we're going to my house, okay?"
Ego heard Valmont, changed his mind and nodded, "That would be a better idea."
