Eugene knew it came from a place of concern, and so he did his best to keep his frustration below the surface. He'd been forced to become and true adult virtually overnight and he was eternally grateful for the help both families had provided thus far, but he was alright.
"It is my responsibility," He shrugged. "My screw up, my kid, my responsibility." Not that he saw Theseus as a burden in any way. Frankly Eugene was pretty thankful for the jump start to his focus and determination to not crash and burn. Polishing off the plate, he left it near the sink for cook to take care of in the morning. He would have done it himself, but he'd been chastised last time for doing it incorrectly, so they'd agreed to just leave it.
Passing his sister a smile, Eugene followed it up with a chuckle. "Are you offering to babysit, Lena?" He'd pay money to see that actually. "But thanks, I appreciate it." He had a very capable nanny for Theseus, but Ronnie did take him every now and then so he could go hang out with his cousins.
