[but he's had more here than he would have had anywhere else, too. kni could never discount the view of the summer sun rising and setting from that back porch, the sounds of conversation floating through the open kitchen window. those little moments were fleeting and precious.]
You really don't need to do that.

Okay, fair point, how about instead: as regular a childhood as you can have in all the chaos? Will that work, Grouchy Pants?
[Work with him here, Kiddo! Zulius flaps his hand, dismissively. Because Zulius Bunter doesn't make threats, he makes promises, and he plans to stand by that one. ]
