She nodded. "Thought so. You looked miserable last time. Glad you got out from under his thumb. What about the big one?"

“He’s here too, ma’am.” She… didn’t blame Ky for being with Aleth? She… didn’t hate Ky by extension?

"I'll sit here," she decided, sitting in the middle of the left side. "So what are you doing all the way up here, child?"
