"Ach, that's alright, Louie lad." He stood by him, watching out the window. There had been a planned trip of the whole Manor family out to Birchpointe, and they had gone ahead to allow Scrooge to stay behind and finish up helping Huey with some last minute work. Of course, that was when the storm decided to roll in, and he elected to wait for it to blow over before joining them. There was no way he was going to make Launchpad fly through this mess.

Not if he didn't want to arrive in a full body cast, anyway.

At least there was a silver lining though, in that he was here when Louie quite literally popped in, saving him trying another trip with the transporter. So, here they stood, watching the rain; he turned his head some to smile alongside at him.

"They'll understand why I stayed behind, and I'm just glad the bairns aren't here in this mess, too."
