Septimus gave a soft frown, troubled by Evelyn's plight. Her step-mom sounded like a drag, but he wouldn't say that outloud. "Well, maybe you can hang around with friends that would take you places." He jabbed a thumb in Lorelai's direction. "Does this one like to travel?"
Lorelai looked up from her Passion Fruit iced tea and glared. "It has a name you know. 'This one' isn't even close."
Septimus merely sat there, once again perplexed by Lorelai's general rudeness. He didn't mean to be so offensive! He'd apologize, but he wasn't quite sure what to apologize for.
