Tristan said, “There’ll always be something to be busy about as long as we live. Didn’t you say Dr. Smith isn’t feeling well? I’ll visit him with you two.”
“Okay,” replied Sophie.
Both of them then went to pick Arius up. When he saw Tristan, he complained, “Why do you seem to be everywhere, Mr. Tristan? We’re just visiting our teacher, so why are you joining us?”
One of the reasons they were visiting Barney was because it was Christmas.
While Barney might be a foreigner, he was, at that moment, in Chanaea. Hence, they thought they should follow the customs.
Tristan didn’t want to pay attention to him. “Why should I tell you? Does that have anything to do with you?”
