Jeffery raised an eyebrow and slightly leaned over to see who their [i]"father"[/i] was. He scoffed and shook his head with an amused smile as he looked back to the woman. No way that was his dad, little bugger gave a sad excuse for a fib and now Jeffery had to make up a better one on the spot. "I see he pulled the old [i]'that's my dad'[/i] trick again. He has a nasty habit of lying, especially when he's been caught. Though I guess when he saw a pretty woman such as yourself he slipped up," he chuckled with a sly smirk. Hey, a bit of flattering never hurts when trying to lie your way out of a jam. Though he had to admit, she wasn't half bad. She had the looks, but she probably wasn't his type. He sighed and shook his head. 

"Look, the truth is our folks ain't around no more. Tragic accident, rather not go into details, very messy. Anyway, thanks for offering him some food, but my client over there is actually buying us a meal. Nice fellow don't ya think?" he asked as he gently pulled the boy out of her grasp and glanced at him with a stern look. "Alright dear troublesome brother, give up what ya took and head over towards the booth and wait for me. You run off again and I'll make you wish this beautiful young lass had taken you, [i]understand[/i]?" he finished with a smile as he caught site of the food being brought to their table. He gestured towards the food with his head and chuckled. "A fresh warm meal is waiting for you, so don't let it get cold," he said, hoping that the food could convince him to play along. He glanced back to the woman and kept his smile strong.
