Ross smiled genially at Mr. Darrow. (Improper Use of Magic Darrow, who was by extension the brother of Captain Darrow, The One with the Boat. Ross did not spend much time thinking about his wife's siblings' drama, but he did spend time noting people's helpful qualities, so — he was aware of the Darrows.)
"There's something about seeing the sky through magic, isn't there?" Ross said genuinely, with a glance upwards towards the ceiling above them. He looked back at Mr. Darrow. "The theming was admittedly mostly my wife's idea —" obviously, although Ross was not under the impression that Roslyn cared much more about this than he did "— but I do think she's outdone herself with this one."
That was more genuine; that Roslyn could do so well at something she cared so little about was a testament to her general intelligence.
