Ant spun, giving what he hoped was a convincing grin and hiding the screwdriver behind his back. "Yes?"

"I told you to not work on the White Knight."
"I know, but... don't you ever wish the White Knight was faster?"
"That's what your Shadow Knight is for," Fontaine said, straightening. "Come on. Dad's waiting for us for lunch."
"Okay, what about stronger?" Ant asked, following Kaiko when she turned.
"Why don't you do that to your Knight?"
"The Shadow Knight is plenty fast, but it's not built for strength," Ant said.
"And that's what the Mag Knight is for. Besides, the White Knight is two years old. And that means..." Kaiko raised an eyebrow.
"That 'tinkering on it would cause more problems than anything'," Ant filled in.
"Exactly. So stop trying."
"Okay..." Ant darted past them. "Race you to the kitchen!"
