Terne had dragged Steel along on a visit to Lead's onsite warehouse office. Lead and Steel chatted while Terne wandered off again.

"I appreciate your keeping Terne company," Lead said. "I'm grateful that Terne is interested in the family business, especially since Pewter has other interests. But you would not believe how much mischief Terne gets up to when she's here by herself—"

Lead and Steel suddenly overheard a very long, very loud crashing noise that ended with the sound of an empty bucket falling over, followed by Terne's childish laughter.

"I think I could believe it," Steel said nervously.
