“…good, for the most part. Oscar broke his arm during the earthquake but he’s a tough kid so I’m sure he’s holding up okay… then baby Raina was born a few weeks ago too.

"A new baby?" His eyebrows shot up. "You're joking; that's wonderful!"

“Yeah!” Ky smiled. “She’s very cute. Perfect little girl.”

“About a week before I came up here… so…” she furrowed her brow, thinking. She’d have been three weeks by the time Ky made it; five by the time Tomhas came if he’d come immediately, which he hadn’t. “Two months?” She sobered at that. She’d been gone a very, very long time.

"Gods." He shook his head in disbelief. "She'll be full grown by the time Tomhas gets home."

“Because Tomhas doesn’t want me there,” she said quietly, walking a little faster. “He said it’s too dangerous, then came up here which is twice the risk.” She shook her head. “He just doesn’t want me to come back.”

"If anything it sounds like he wants you as safe as possible," he reasoned, matching her pace. "He's going to great lengths to keep you safe."
