"Average?" Al's lips twitched up slightly, and he grinned at Edmund for just a moment. "Most of it." Edward, after all, did get into a lot of scrapes. But the truth was Al had gotten into his fair share, over the years, and Ed was always there to back him up. They were brothers -- that was what brothers did. It was a stronger bond even than pack.
"You can look innocent and still be innocent, you know," he said instead, ducking his head. Most of the time, he was. Al tried hard to be a good person. It wasn't just about looking innocent. It was about doing the right thing, even when the right thing wasn't innocent.
Edmund was right about one thing -- Al wasn't used to attention. At least, not this kind of attention. People were generally interested in him because of his brother, or because they'd figured out he was an Alpha. Most people weren't interested in Al for his own sake. At first he'd thought Edmund was one of them, but now... now, he wasn't sure.
"What about you? You've got a reputation for mischief too, you know."
