“The fact that he’s a pedophile that got divorced before he made it to his twenties,” Rana said dryly.

"Comments like that is why you're going to take a backseat," Cairbry said sharply. "What else? Lia, do it yourself, I know you can."

Rana considered walking off, but dawdled for a moment longer. She knew damn well Lia didn’t know anything about the North. But was she making it better or worse by being here? She wasn’t sure. She was clearly still further agitating their father. Perhaps she should just go. Let Lia fend for herself in her ignorance but with a less-angry father.
“Um…” Lia hesitated. “… that’s all the big thing, right? The abuse and the divorce? And… the initial war, too?”

Cairbry sighed heavily. "He likes to feel big. Make him feel like a big boy, like he isn't a child. Make him think he's smart, don't unintentionally belittle him."

So basically just act like he’s you. Rana managed to keep that one to herself and turned and started to stride off again.
“Yes, Papa.” Lia nodded.

"Good. Now, recite your routine in Upper Tongue. Both of you."

Oh hell no. Fuck that. Rana pretended that she hadn’t heard.
“Um…” Lia blushed, looking after her helplessly.

“Um…” Lia was realizing Rana didn’t seem like she was intending to help this time. “First I wake up… and… eat… morning… food… and… read… paper… knowledge…”

Cairbry stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her in distress. "Paper knowledgeI? Morning food?"

Lia teared up instantly, embarrassed. Her face flushed red and she tried to turn away to hide it.

"Try again. Go on; if you're going to Serpent Keep you have to know the word for book."
