(haha all good! It was a nice surprise to get a reply for all four tonight :') )
"That's good," Talia said with a nod, and she meant it. "Ky deserves that."

Talia nodded and let a silence pass between them. “Do you… know how to… make her stop being so… sterile? Towards me?”

Sera hesitated, setting down what she was working on. "...I think time cures most wounds. She needs to get used to being around you again, and to get used to how you've changed. That's all.'

Talia hesitated. “… she doesn’t like how I am now?” Had she said something to Sera about it?

"I never said that," Sera said quickly. "She's changed, too. You both need to learn about each other, who you are now."

"Yes, ma'am." Talia nodded, hesitating. "She's just so..." She sighed. "Polite. It's like she views me like one of Aleth's clients, not a friend anymore."

"That will take some work to change," Sera mused. "But I have faith that with some time and effort you'll both be thick as thieves again."

“I hope so.” She nodded, glancing down at the bundles. “It’s just… hard. Being different people than we parted as. I… I guess I’m different, too. It’s just…” she sighed. “Complicated.”

"I understand." Sera dipped her head. "Just try to be patient. Don't rush yourself."

“Yes, ma’am.” Talia dipped her head. “It’s just… hard not to feel like time is running out on us.”

"You're still young," she said with a small smile. "You've got your whole life ahead of you."

“Not together,” Talia pointed out. “Ky’s refusing to come home. And I plan to go as soon as we can.”

Talia sighed, glancing away. “She’s convinced herself it’ll put us all in danger if she does.”
