"But she stabbed you first," Ky pointed out. "She shouldn't have done that. That's mean. What was she even doing out where she saw you to attack you?"

"I run at her first," he retorted. "She throw rock when I in bush to scare me away. It hit me and I attack."

Ky was quiet for a long moment, trying to piece together the sequence of events. "Well..." She huffed a sigh. "Hmph."

"Me too." He dipped his head. "I want to crush her neck but I remember you and stop."

Ky smiled a little. "That's good. I'm proud of you for remembering."

"I trying," he said with a modest shrug. "It hard."

"I'm sure." Ky agreed with a nod. "Habits are hard to break. But you're doing better. And that's good. Progress is good. You're good."

"Six hundred year is long time with no progress," he admitted. "Not sure if I forgive myself for six hundred year."

"Mm," she hummed, considering it. "You didn't promise anyone else that you wouldn't before, though, right? But now you're keeping your promise now that you made it; that's good."

He nodded hesitantly. "Yes. You right. But still."

"Progress," she insisted with a nod. "You can't change the past; just the future. You're doing well."

Rönn smiled slightly. "You have lot of faith in me. I thank for that."

Ky returned the smile and dipped her head, glancing away. It was good to have him back. Even if it made her worry. About him. And Zander. And made her angry at Jerica; perhaps she deserved her monstrous reputation after all.
