Besides, it wasn't like he hadn't made plenty in the past year or so.
Like now... where he was supposed to be keeping an eye on the kid. Erin's kid, Zack. Yawning as he sat down on a bench, Shadow's eyes roved a little towards where the child was bouncing around in the puddles of muddy rain water. He rubbed the back of his neck with his hand, sighing as he kept his wand in his lap; ready in order for him to jump up and grab the kid to pull him out of trouble. He wasn't good with this... not really. There was only so much he could take of having his hair yanked every direction under the sun, even if he had originally tried to keep up with being a good role model. Hm. Well, there really hadn't ever been a chance of that happening, had there?
With a small groan and a rub of his temples, Shadow rolled his eyes and got to his feet; chewing the end of his cigarette butt (an awful habit he was picking up from his uncle) as he went to scoop Zack up to sit on his shoulders. "Alright, kiddo, I know. You're scared. I don't like it much here either but your dad's studying or something," he grumbled, shaking his head a bit in protest to the little chubby hands yanking his already thoroughly messed hair and kicking a discarded halloween lantern out of the way as he walked on; trying to avoid tripping over his own feet and continually apologising when he drifted too far into his thoughts not to walk into people.
Nothing more than the usual, then.[/ul]
