Jerica snorted. “Take that up with Haelar.”

"Haelar?" Tomhas sighed heavily. "Haelar's going to have to wake up and stop me. What would he want with Ky, anyway?"

Jerica furrowed her brow at him. “He wants her to be his herald. And you’re only going to put her in danger if you try to stop him.”

"How do you know that, though?"

“Cause he told her.” She shrugged and started walking again.

"He didn't tell her." He caught up to her, walking side by side. "He couldn't have because--again--he's asleep."

“So was she.” Jerica shrugged again, glancing over at him. “Didn’t you listen to her? She said she told you her father said he wanted you to be her new father. She was all happy about that.”

"That was a dream," he said uncomfortably.

“No.” She shook her head, then hesitated. “I mean… yeah, but that doesn’t mean it’s not real. If you believe the Seers why not Ky? She doesn’t lie.”

"Ky's not a Seer, is why. She doesn't have those sorts of dreams. Maybe she thought she did, but..."

Jerica stopped walking again and glared at him. “Oh, so she can make friends with the marrow man and trolls and has all kinds of spooky shit happen to her and you believe all that but a dream is too far to be believable.” She rolled her eyes. “Gotcha.”

"Dreams are tricky things," he protested, face flushed. "All of that is--like, it's tangible. But dreaming--that's some really powerful stuff. Seers are kind of rare, and she's not even from here. Her attunement would be to the Southern gods if any. I don't understand why she'd suddenly be able to have Seer dreams when she hasn't displayed that power before."

“Oh yes because everything is exactly as it has been.” She looked at him flatly. “Nothing is different at all.”

"I mean--" Tomhas floundered. "Why would she tell you all this? She barely knows you."

Jerica scoffed. “Just because you’ve been sulking in your bedroom for the past month doesn’t mean we all have.” She hesitated, realizing that was unnecessarily harsh. “… that is to say… what I mean is… okay that came out wrong. But… I mean… you only knew her a few months before you decided she was your kid. And I really am her sister. So.”
