Sid and Arthur's Steampunk Adventure

Part 4

“So shall we go back then?” inquired Sid as he helped Arthur dump the limp body behind a steam box.

“What’s a steam box?” Arthur asked me.

I ignored him.

“Are you ignoring me Author?”

I continued to ignore him.

“He’s a bit rude isn’t he!” thought Sid.

“I don’t see why he can’t tell us what this steampunk adventure thingy is going to be about.”

“Can you tell us Author?” asked Sid.

“Oh alright then Sid…”

“He was just ignoring me,” Arthur moaned interjectedly.

“Surely you mean ‘moaned dejectedly’?” corrected (or tried to) Sid.

“Interjectedly isn’t a word,” snootied Arthur.

“It is now,” I replied. “I wasn’t really ignoring you Arthur, I was simply hoping you wouldn’t notice my non-description of a steam box.”
