[Sorry, Drake, this is very abrupt, but have this extremely loud child appearing at you.]
Miss Temperance said you are good and nice and that I need to talk to you to read her book so I am here doing those things let's be friends I like you already!
[ Hayden definitely appears to be and acts like the youngest child that Drake's encountered here so far, which throws him off quite a bit. Hadriel's no place for kids and yet they keep popping up. He instantly has a thousand questions, starting with 'who's looking after you?' and ending with 'did Miss Temperance say this was age appropriate?' but if she told the kid he could be on the list... well. Okay??? ]
Sure, but there's a wait for it. What's your name, kiddo?
[He gets to be on the list! He's just like everybody else! This is the best and Hayden can't stop smiling.]
That's okay I don't mind waiting because I have to learn to read first! I will wait very patiently behind everybody else. My name is Hayden Mister Drake, sir!
[ Oh. Well in that case... Drake hesitates for a moment, then smiles at the video feed. The kid's cute, and he hasn't actually started the book yet. He was going to see if Ephemera wanted to read it together, maybe he won't mind one more.

Hopefully not, since Drake's offering anyway. ]
How about I read it to you, then?

That would be the greatest! Are you sure? That won't bother you?
