Todd gave Mokuba's arm a confused look. He wasn't used to people being so... well, nice. In the back of his mind, he was almost waiting for the other shoe to drop, half-expecting Mokuba's head to explode at any moment.
"I... I think the teacher said that Mr. Teatime and the Scary Neighbor Man were doing detentions, and they're both pretty crazy." he said after a moment or two. "Shmee doesn't like the Scary Neighbor Man at all, but... And I'm not sure, but I think Mr. Teatime said that he tried to kill the Easter Bunny."
Mokuba noticed the odd look and only become more concerned for Todd.
"It's okay, Todd. You helped write up the presentation, so you won't have to go. I'll make sure of that," Mokuba soothingly insisted as he started to lightly rub Todd's back. This was kinda nice--he was being just like his big brother was with him! And Todd seemed so...timid and scared. Like the type of kid bullies like to pick on.
Mokuba could more than sympathize with that, and it just made him want to protect Todd and the other members of their group even more.
"Don't worry about a thing. I'll make sure all of us make it through, okay?" Somehow or another... Alice was excused, and Calvin was as well, but he could just read the presentation. Or Mokuba could--however things worked out.
