"The children. Not to mention the scandal--she loves Tomhas too much to put him through that kind of publicity."

“He’d be putting himself through it,” she said bitterly, then hesitated. “…I guess it wouldn’t be fair to the kids, though. Having to decide who to live with.”

"Exactly. They have security right now, and two loving parents. Custody would be difficult to hash out, especially with the distance from Anneke's aunt to Tomhas's Keep."

"I'm sure their relationship will be properly repaired with time. They do love each other very much."

“I honestly couldn’t care less what his story is,” she spat. “He is also a grown man who knew what he was doing.”
(I know this happened recently and they’re both grown up but what is the age difference between Emery and Tomhas?)

(It's wide. I'm gonna narrow it in canon. Something like 8 years? So two years ago Emery was 22 and Tomhas was 29 going on 30 It feels kinda gross and I wanna change it)
"True. What about the prostitutes? They were doing their jobs. What about Violet? Do you know Violet?"

(That’s because it is gross lol But okay cool I actually thought it was a little worse than that. Just figured I’d keep that in my back pocket in case she gets mad at Tomhas again lol “you’re almost as much older than Emery as I am Oscar…” )
Ky shook her head. “Who’s Violet?” Of course she didn’t blame the prostitutes; they were already marginalized. They didn’t have the power to tell a Lord no. And they weren’t responsible to make him have good morals. They fucked for money or because they had to. And they didn’t know Anneke. Emery did it to be malicious.

(Yeah I'm gonna narrow it to maybe three years and just have Emery be like 28 or something. I hadn't thought of it before I paired them together; I just thought they'd be a cute duo and then I was like wait noooo)
"That's the question." He nodded sagely. "Some woman from the village near Caracal Keep, or so I'm told."
