“Not bad!” Tadaaki nodded to him. “Not sure where they are now — probably playing with the kids. Tasia is in hog heaven here with all the children her age.”

He chuckled. "I'm so glad they're getting along. The twins need friends their age for sure."

“It’s very important,” Tadaaki said with a nod. “And Ua, too. Tasia seems to be picking up a bit of her language, which I’m glad to see… well… it’s actually entirely possible neither of them know what they’re saying to each other. But Tasia is entirely certain she’s learning Ua’s language. So.”

"Kids at that age tend to soak up information so quickly," Emery mused. "I bet if they're around each other enough they'll be speaking both languages fluently!"

“I’m sure.” Tadaaki nodded. “It’ll be good for her…” if they were here long enough. Which was getting progressively more uncertain. It made him uneasy, but he tried not to let it show. “They’re good kids.”

Tadaaki winced and looked at him for a moment. He didn’t want to gossip about her. But. Well. She was bringing this on herself. And. Well. Maybe Emery would be able to help. He was bubblier. “…one guess.”

"Her room?" He grimaced. "Poor kid."

Tadaaki nodded, then hesitated, “… Tomhas is here. Don’t know if you’ve heard?”

Emery blinked, tensing. "No, I hadn't, actually. When did he arrive?"

“Recently, I think,” Tadaaki said, glancing at the hall and sighing. “I saw him, briefly, and he seemed upset. Ky wasn’t with him… I assume she’s holed up in her room but she won’t answer when I knock… so… don’t know what happened. But it couldn’t have been good.”

"Did he look okay otherwise? He hadn't been hurt or anything?"

Tadaaki grimaced again. “He didn’t look great… but he was up here not the infirmary, so…”

Emery's brow furrowed in concern. "Gods...I hope nothing too bad happened. Maybe that's why Ky is upset."

“Maybe,” Tadaaki agreed. He sighed softly. “I wish I knew for sure.”
