“He…” Ky sighed and waved her hand dismissively. “I don’t know. He said I needed to stop sulking and exercise and stuff.”

"Was the exercise helpful? I love to ride when I get stressed."

"Oh." He frowned. "Well, you can sit and rest here for awhile, I don't mind!"

Ky forced a little smile. “Thought you might like a little company.” Ky glanced around with a little frown. “Thought you’d be patched up by now, though. Doesn’t your shoulder hurt?”

He nodded. "They set it back in the socket when we were still out there but it is a bit sore." He glanced over at Sera, who was approaching with her supplies. "Aha, here comes the lady herself!" "Shirt off," she said simply, looking weary as she set down her tray and readied a poultice.

Ky felt awkward. Should she leave? Look away? Or did it matter since he was a man? Had she ever seen Papa shirtless? She had Tadaaki. But that was very, very different. Tadaaki had also seen her naked, which was most definitely not okay for Tomhas.

Tomhas, seeming unbothered, undid the buttons of his shirt and shrugged it off with one arm. He was badly scarred in several areas, but they were old scars, not from the troll. The damage from that appeared to be mostly bruises, especially around his shoulder. "Thanks in advance, he said to Sera, turning back to Ky. "So what else did you and Emery talk about? Was it all bad?"

Ky glanced at them, then glanced away anyway, not wanting to embarrass him. She didn’t like when people stared at her own scars. And it wasn’t any of her business. Much like the journals hadn’t been. Gods. What had Michael done to him to cause all of these on her father? The pig game again? Gods.
…Gods.
“…um…” she shook her head, trying to clear it. “I’m not sure. I think that was basically it.”

"Bummer." He wrinkled his nose. "I guess he was trying to be helpful, at least. What are you going to do after this, then?"

“No plans.” She shrugged. “Figured I’d see what you’re up to.”
