Pettigrew thought that was mean, did he? Connor wouldn’t have blinked at saying it before he had moved here, and even now he thought people in the streets nearer the slums would look at him the wrong way, like he didn’t belong here, wasn’t one of them.
He supposed he didn’t belong with Pettigrew’s sort either, now. Still, it wouldn’t do to say no to his dormmate’s offer – it was better to be friends, if he could. “Ice cream might be more fun,” Connor agreed, almost relieved at the easy save to get them out of Pennyworth. “Only – I didn’t bring any money out.” He patted his pockets and pulled a face, as if to say in case it got stolen, see.
Connor had a small piggy bank of his own, but he hadn’t asked Angie for an allowance lately, because that meant actually talking to Angie. And he still had some money, he muse do, from his parents or the old house &ndash but he could hardly stop back in the new Pennyworth house if Pettigrew was watching him.
