“That’s really cool!” Ky said, not, in fact, answering the question. “Was it interesting?”

"I've read it a hundred times now! I can show it to you some time if you like. It has the loveliest cover; it looks like an actual tapestry." Anneliese pushed open the door of the Keep, and cold air blew in.

“I’d love to see it!” Ky said genuinely, smiling as she followed Anneliese outside. “Sounds fascinating.”

"It's got some of the most amazing stories. Have you read the one about the bull and the Seer? That's one of my favorites."

"Well--" Anneliese stopped herself. "Nope! I'm saving it for story circle. What's your favorite story you've ever heard?"

“My Uncle Zander told me a story about how he once rescued a bunch or babies from an evil council that wanted to kill them and that’s why he couldn’t stay with me for very long at a time so the council didn’t find him because they’re still mad.” Ky smiled and shook her head. “I’m sure it’s a lie. But I believed it when I was little.”
(It is in fact true and she’s one of the babies he saved aha)

"Your uncle sounds amazing," Anneleise laughed. "Adventurous. Any chance I could meet him?"

“He really is.” Ky smiled, then sobered slightly and shook her head. “But no, I don’t imagine either of us will ever see him again. He wouldn’t tell me what he really did, so I don’t know where to find him; and he doesn’t know I’m here to come to us.”
(Little does she knowwww)

"Oh." Her smiled faded, then she brightened. "I bet Father or Uncle Gaius could find him!"

“Maybe,” Ky agreed, forcing a smile. Of course, they couldn’t. How could you find someone who made a point of not being found?

"Only if you want, though," she said quickly. "Nobody will make you do anything here."

“I would love to find Zander again.” She shrugged. “But I don’t think even your father or uncle could find him. He’s too erratic.”

"It never hurts to ask." Anneliese headed toward the ice garden. "They've got great connections."

“That’s true,” Ky agreed. She wasn’t about to ask for a favor that big. Especially when it’d be mission impossible. But she wasn’t going to crush Anneliese’s optimism. There was a shriek of joy up ahead. Ky grinned, looking over at Anneliese. “Sounds like they’re having fun.”
