“Bad.” Ky was quiet for a moment. “Gaius told Tomhas to stop listening to his heart cause that made him abandon Anneke and the kids to take a stupid risk to come here for me… and then Tomhas said that when he listened to his head instead of his heart he married Lyra to a sociopath… and…” she let out a little breath. “Bad.”

Emery winced. "Damn...." He had turned bright red. "You weren't kidding."

“Yeah.” Ky pulled her blankets tighter once again. No. She wasn’t joking.

“Thanks,” she said sarcastically. She knew she’d be selling the whole well-adjusted thing better if she did anything at all. Like, even just sitting upright. Or smiling once. Or… anything. But she didn’t.

Emery flinched back visibly. "Sorry, sorry...we're all just a little worried about you, is all."
