Dylan: Inside?
Lennox laughs too
Lennox: Yeah, alright. I’m a changed girl!
Cooper: Dylan, your mum’s rubbing off on her. She’ll be ‘playing’ soon, too!
Dylan: Huh!
Lennox: Tell us a story Cooper, seeing as we’re not going anywhere anytime soon.
Cooper: Okay. Let me think of something, one I haven’t told you yet. Dylan, you haven’t played your keyboard for ages. Play us a tune while I think.
Lennox: I didn’t know you played keyboard too!
Dylan: I’m just learning, trying, it’s sort of a secret from Mam
Lennox: How did you get it then?
Dylan: I thought I was going to die! And I’ve stashed it here, so that, so I can learn it. Myself.
Dylan noodles with new toy throughout.
