Augustus nodded as if the answer was to his expectation. "Please take good care of her." He said in a serious tone before going back to eating.

She nodded and smiled. "Cool. I look forward to meet them. I just, uh, are they as protective as Stella?"

He smiled at her. "You don't have to worry about them."
