Summary
“What did you call him?” Diego asked just to be sure.
Five rolled his eyes. He really looked thirteen when he did that, and Diego felt like he was being hit solidly in the chest with a wave of nostalgia. God, he was just a kid. An asshole to be sure, but who wasn’t in this house? It was practically a requirement to be a Hargreeves.
“Mr. Pennycrumb.” Five said like Diego was an idiot. It was how he usually spoke to Diego. He had such a loving brother. “That’s his name. What are you doing with him?”
“Is he yours?” Diego stepped closer. The dog started to squirm the closer he got to Five and Diego put him down on the ground. The dog immediately ran over to Five and started pawing at his knees.
“Mr. Pennycrumb is a friend of mine. He’s the only source of intelligent conversation to be found in this house.” Five declared, calmly bending down to stroke at Mr. Pennycrumb’s dirty fur.
Or: Five times Five introduced Mr. Pennycrumb and the one time he didn’t have to.
