Mason peered around Atticus' leg as the Titan the Ghost had ran into spoke. "There," Atticus said looking down at Mason. "No harm done. You just need to watch where you're going." Mason looked up at him, and he had the feeling that the Ghost was about to say something before another of the summoned Guardian's Ghost spoke.
Mason's attention was quickly pulled to the new Guardian and Ghost that had showed up. "What'd you call me?" Mason looked from the new Ghost to Atticus. "What did he just call me?" Once again Mason's view went to the new Ghost and just stared silently for a moment before quickly flying to hover inches from the new Ghost's face. Mason continued to stare the new Ghost down before flying up and spinning excitedly. "I liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikkkkeeeee it!" As Mason began to come back down the Ghost flew over and hover just as close of Atticus' face. "Can that be my new nickname? Please! Please! Please! Puh-llllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
That was not the reaction that Atticus had been expecting. "Look, Kiddo," He tried to speak but anything he tried to say was quickly pushed aside by Mason's please, and with the fact that the Ghost didn't need run out of air the please go literally go on forever. He needed to end this quickly.
"eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
"We are in the presence,"
"eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
"Of new Guardian's, who may I remind you,"
"eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
"Were chosen by the Speaker himself,"
"eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
"Just like you and I were." His first attempt and it was a complete failure.
"eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
Skipping any further failed attempts he went straight for what always worked."Mason!" Atticus said delivering the tone that would usually settle the Ghost down.
"eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
But to no avail this time. He had always refused to yell at Mason and wasn't going to start now in the presence of new company. He decided that
enough was enough and gave in.
"eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
With a sigh he spoke. "Little Light." He muttered, although more akin to a whisper under the please.
"ee-" The please stopped as soon as he uttered the last syllable of 'Light'. "Yes?"
Atticus sighed again and looked around at the group of assembled Guardians. It seemed that during his interaction with Mason the remaining members of the group had arrived and he had missed anything that had gone on. "Did you really have to do that in front of all of these people?" Atticus asked looking back at Mason.
"Hmmm," Mason turned and looked at each member of the group that the Speaker had picked, making a full circle and looking back at Atticus after making the rotation. "Nope," A small giggle escape Mason, the Ghost's eye lighting and dimming as it did so. "I didn't have to but it seemed like it would be funny!" Another little giggle escape the Ghost before it began to fly in a circle around Atticus.
He simply placed a hand on his face and let out a long sigh before looking back at the other Guardians. "Shall we?" He asked motion towards the door as Mason continued to fly around his head.
