“And yet you still think it’s a good idea for you to go?” She couldn’t resist.

He rounded on her, balling his hand into a fist. "You watch your tone, young lady, or you'll be doing recitations for the whole ride up, understand?"

She flinched despite herself. Then needed to save face and sighed even louder than before, exaggerating her eye roll. “Whatever.”

He glared at her and turned around, stalking back down the path.

Rana watched them go, hoping this would be the end of it.
(I think we picked the perfect characters this is literally exactly the dynamic in canon lol)

(Hee hee excellent I wanted Cairbry to be more of a goofy no thoughts head empty kind of guy and he still is but we caught him in a very bad mood and Rana will eternally rub him the wrong way.)
"Lia?" He turned to look at her and said in Upper Tongue, "tell me the Houses of the North."

“Uhhh… uhhh…” she flushed, immediately regretting her decision to follow him. “…Ash… Loquitur… Tarr…?”
Rana followed along behind them from a distance.

“Well… um… those are the ones involved in the war, right? The relevant ones?” She floundered.
Rana narrowed the distance between them, feeling bad for her for some unknown reason. She always felt a bit guilty when Lia was too stupid to take her leave from their father after Rana pissed him off.

"I asked for the Houses of the North, not the Houses involved in the war." He wrinkled his nose. "Come now, dear, this should be easy."

Rana passed them, whispering in Lia’s ear, “Adree, Barrister, Bledroe,” and then continuing on ahead of them.
Lia glanced over at her, blushed a little, then glanced back at their father. “…Adree, Bledroe, and Barraster?”

Cairbry didn't notice the cheat and nodded. "Very good. Now, do you know what not to talk about with Lord Ash, Lord Loquitur, and Lord Tarr?"

Rana sighed silently, waffling on whether to continue assisting or not.

Cairbry gave her a weary look. "Obviously. What else?"

“Um…” Lia looked ahead. “Rana and I were actually just talking about this a few days ago. Remember, Rana?”
They definitely hadn’t been. But Rana took pity. She forced herself to take a deep breath then turned back towards them. “Right. Especially about the abuse Lords Ash and Loquitur endured in their childhood from their father but particularly elder brother, and the physical maiming that resulted from that.”
