"Do I look like a Seer to you?" he asked irritably. "Of I course don't know. Nobody really knows what will happen because something like this has never happened before."

"How did you end up with Tomhas anyway?" he asked, returning to perusing the shelves.

She glanced at him then back at the shelf. Something told her he wouldn’t be particularly charitable to a slave. “I came up this way with… an unkind employer. Tomhas thought I was a little young to have to deal with that and offered to let me stay with him and Anneke instead. Sort of hit things off with my family and it led to a formal adoption.”

"Mm. And do you know about the whole debacle a couple years ago or have they refrained from telling you?"

He tilted his head. "That's a no, then. Interesting."

She squinted at him. “They may have… there seems like there’s been… a few.”

"One of the more recent ones, not the war." He picked out a book. "Your father hasn't been honest with you, if this doesn't immediately leap to the front of your mind. He's not a particularly honest person in general--though none of my actual children were or are, either. Except Cecily."

"Ask your father. I'm no gossip." He gave one of the books a scornful look. "I'd have thought Michael dissuaded him from making such choices."

Ky cast an irritable glance at him. “Not sure how I’d broach a question like that. ‘What debacle are you being dishonest with me about?’”

"Then you'd best do some thinking for yourself. I don't have all the answers; I'm not going to tell you what to do." He looked back at her. "You think I'm wrong?"

"I'm doing Tomhas a kindness by not telling you outright." He turned away. "The second and last kindness I'll do him."
