Edgard's eyes widen. Unbelievable. He takes a deep breath. He pauses a moment and then says,

"I came to tell you that we were now sharing responsibility for Sunbeam, something I thought you'd be happy about. I asked to meet you at another time to not interrupt your work. I was not trying to say you don't know how to take care of Sunbeam, I am aware you do, which is why at the meeting I was going to suggest we work up to alternate days, so as not to confuse or overwhelm her who is used to seeing you every day. I also think it would be a good idea to have the meetings to make sure there is consistency. Griffons are not like horses, they are more sensitive."

He folds his hands in his lap and then adds, "Colin."
