Tomhas chuckled. "The babiest of brothers; that's me!" He blew into his hands and started toward the stairs. "So what else is going on here, besides my brother chopping off his leg?"

“That not enough for ya?” Ky asked playfully. But mostly she wanted to distract him. Because she didn’t know. She’d eaten today so she could deny it if he accused her of not eating — though she hadn’t yesterday — but she hadn’t thought to ask for a summary of happenings before he got here. Oops.

She forced a little smile. Of course not. “Well, I regret to inform you that I led with my most interesting card.”

Tomhas shook his head. "You've got to reveal your hand now, then. I'm not taking no for an answer."

“Um…”

Shit.

“… you just missed Pratik and Ada. They left last week.”

His brow furrowed. "Oh, that's unfortunate. Why?"

“The earthquake hurt Ada — the gods… I don’t know what they did to her. But they hurt her with her dream. So Pratik took her home.”

"That's a wonderful culture." He nodded approvingly. "Led by good people with a good cause. I hope she finds them again."

Ky nodded. “I’m sure they will; Pratik is the best of the best. But… I do hope they find them quickly. For her sake. It’s… hard. When you first get taken especially.”

"She came from Tarr's place," he recalled. "I'd forgotten. That poor girl..." He trailed off, looking down.

Ky nodded solemnly. “She went through so, so much. Before the gods decided to ruin her life, too.”
