Apparently there was no chance at all that his father would relent, and let him stay just a while longer. He would be able to come back tomorrow though, he reiterated mentally, as though his father might rescind the promise he'd already made. Theodore made an effort to be the more stubborn of the two, but if he gave in this evening, at least he would still get his way tomorrow.
Already nagging again. Whilst Theodore was pleased to note how easily he could get on his father's nerves when the man was in an impatient mood, he still was in no mood to go home.
"I'm coming."
He tossed a roll of his eyes in his father's direction, expression settled in that of a scowl despite the fact that up until now it had been a perfectly nice day, and his father hadn't even been unreasonable. He stalked forwards, flung his feet into a proper march until he reached the edge of the forest, where the trees dotted sparsely. The plan he was carrying out currently was to not merely catch up with, but overtake his father, until he could reach a secluded spot to halt and start tapping his foot.
