It took Lane a moment to realize that Miles was talking to him. After all, Miles expressing any words of concern towards Lane? That was unheard of! Of course, his voice was cold as always, the supposed emotions not reflecting in either his tone or face, but still.
'We have been worried about you?'
As if!
But Lane's brain did catch up to it eventually. Miles had said 'your mother and I'. To whom else could it be directed, other than Lane? Only Nyla, but she was nowhere in sight!
He threw a quick glance at his father, only to see Miles looking at him with a hint of fake concern. Good enough to maybe fool someone else(in a 'strict and cold on the surface father, who doesn't know how to express his emotions well, but deep down cares about his children' kind of way), but not Lane.
Still, he cautiously answered, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you worry."
It was better to play along, at least for now. This way, Lane might be able to figure out what Miles was up to.
