Wrong… wrong. No. Wrong person. Wrong—

And yet.

Sara had offered to comfort her.

She’d offered so many times.

Ky crumpled against her, hugging her tightly.

Sara returned the hug, rubbing Ky's back gently. "What's the matter, dear?" she asked.
"I’m thinking about the aurora borealis. You can’t tell if it really does exist or if it just looks like existing. All things are so very uncertain, and that’s exactly what makes me feel reassured." --Too-Ticky

“They don’t want me!” Her words were muffled from the way her face was pressed against Sara’s chest.

"What do you mean?" She eased them down so they were sitting on the stairs. "Who doesn't want you?"

“My… parents,” her voice hitched.

"Of course they want you," she said immediately. "Why would you think they don't?"

"Oh." She kept rubbing her back. "You know why, though. It's not because they don't want you, Ky. It's because they're worried about your safety. They know travel is dangerous right now. They don't want to risk losing you."

“He’s… coming… here.” Gods, talking was hard. “If-if-if it’s that dangerous… I-I-I don’t want him to… to… to.”

"Tomhas is coming here?" she asked incredulously. "He--" She shook her head. "It's going to be fine, Ky. He's got good soldiers."

“You do too!” she wailed. “It can’t be too dangerous to travel and okay to travel at the exact same time. It doesn’t make sense.”

"I certainly wouldn't have recommended he travel," she sighed. "But maybe he thinks he'd rather risk himself than risk one of his children."

She wiped her face, sniffling. “It doesn’t make sense to travel a month instead of me traveling two weeks. And-and it won’t fix anything.”
