They waited in a tense silence for the judge to arrive. He was not what Elgon had expected at all. He was waiting for some ancient fairy who had already decided his fate to arrive, sending him away and taking his son. Master Albert was young and friendly and his pleasant demeanor gave Elgon a surge of excitement. He had never been so grateful for the male dominant society he was part of until now. Knowing that Emmaline was not allowed to voice her opinion coupled with his suspicsions about his grandfather made him feel light headed with hope.
The 2 fairies talked quietly while the rest of them tried to look busy
"....and I think Jonas should be given the chance to choose is own mate. The law are clear in this regard..."
Elgon stood rooted to the spot. Was his grandfather fighting for his side? Emmaline was NOT pleased and threw a silent, for once in her life, tantrum behind the esteemed judge.
" I have made my decision." Stated Master Albert "Jonas has the right to choose his mate and the Council will not interfere unless there is severe cause to do so. Ms. Solo, if you would please see me to my car and I will get the paper work for you to review as your son's and grandson's guardian."
Wilson was out the door so fast Elgon barely registered that he has left.
I bet he's trying to stay close to the judge to avoid his wife's wrath
"Wait a minute Mother!" Elgon called
Elgon could see by his mother's face that she knew what he wanted to talk about
"How are you still our guardian!" Elgon started to yell
"Now is not the time Elgon!" She hissed "Be happy with what just happened and I will call you later!"
She and Ephriam joined Wilson in the elevator
Before the judge joined them he stopped to congratulate Elgon for getting his wish and to whisper that he made Emmaline take the stairs ;-)
