Jerica glanced at him in surprise but then away quickly, recovering. No one ever said she was good at saying things. “…I know Ky is very fond of this place.” That was the closest she could bring herself to compliment his belongings.

"Yeah." His face softened. "She is, I think. It's good she has something to hang onto like this. Somewhere pleasant."
"The artist deals with what cannot be said in words. The artist whose medium is fiction does this in words. The novelist says in words what cannot be said in words." --Ursula K. Le Guin
Jerica nodded, not quite looking over at him. “… she’ll need it,” she agreed softly.

He glanced at her, brow furrowed. "She will," he agreed tentatively. "And she does. She's still adjusting, I think. To all this. And the gods waking isn't making it easier."

“You can say that again,” Jerica grumbled, still not looking at him as she fidgeted with some of the trinkets in her pocket.

"It's too bad you ended up here at such a rough time." He scratched his chin. "I guess we're not gonna have anything but rough times from here on out, but even so."

Jerica glanced at him, then away, furrowing her brow and burying her hands even deeper into her pockets. “It’ll calm down once they’re awake n shi-stuff.”

"I hope so," he sighed. "I'm so tired of everything..."

Jerica nodded. “It will. Just give us a few months to get it all sorted. Then you can all come back. Yknow.”

"Hm?" He blinked, looking over at her again. "Get what sorted?"

Jerica glanced over at him. “The gods n shit, you know?”

Tomhas suppressed a chuckle, shaking his head. "I mean, I like your ambition, but I'm not sure any of us are going to be doing any sorting anytime soon."

“We will.” She shrugged and looked away again. “Shouldn’t take too long. Just gotta deal with the trolls and lack of sun and all that fun stuff. But it’ll be fine.”

Jerica waved her hand dismissively. “It… whatever. Don’t worry about it. All’s I’m saying is that we’ve got this covered.”
