Evidence that he is in any way loveable, though? A the moment I see nothing about him that isn’t really easy to dislike: he is a bragging bully, and an arsonist.

And at seventeen his isn’t really a child; he’s an adolescent.

Except on mumsnet, where he would be a >204-month-old and won’t be adult until at least 300 months…
He is an unpleasant little shite and exactly the kind of son Emmur deserves.

It’s a bit unfair that he seems to have taken after his uncle Ed rather than his father.
