"Probably Uncle Wick's tailoring business, maybe the war. Most likely they'll be scrambling to keep up with the little ones." Anneliese chuckled. "Mattathias and Marcella are absolutely wild."

“They are,” Ky agreed with a smile. “But very cute.”

"Very. It'll be interesting to see how they level out as they get older, in terms of dynamics. And Regulus will be interesting to watch, too. He's very solemn for a two-year-old."

“He is,” Ky agreed. “And then we’ll throw the new little Loquitur into the mix, too.”

"I really hope it's a girl!" Anneliese glanced at Ky. "It's any day now, I think. Mother's getting nervous, and so is Father."

“Imagine getting two sisters on the same day,” Ky laughed.

(Anneke gets so stressed about Ky getting attacked by the assassins that she just spontaneously goes into labor hahaha)

(Mean it's tomorrow or the next day I'll say that much)

"That would be crazy. You'd be like twins!"

(Oh shit haha we got so much happening)
(You really out here gonna make Anneke miss the ceremony)
(Also I swear to god if you kill her off and leave Ky with two dead mothers I will RAGE xD)

“Twins 15 years apart. Wild.” Ky laughed. “It’s not my birthday though.” Then a thought struck her and she gave a more mischievous laugh. “Is it gonna be my gotcha-day?” She laughed even harder. Complete the analogy of them taking in a stray cat.

Spoiler! :
Look I can be held responsible for what happens four to five years from now
So much happens in this world, to the Ash and Loquitur and Tarr family specifically, and also to the Ivans who haven't shown up yet


Anneliese joined her laughter. "Sure! A birth-gotcha day for the twins. But when is your birthday, really?"

“In the summer,” Ky said. “The seventh month, 11th day.”

"A summer birthday? Mine is the eighth month, fourth day." Anneliese grinned. "What do you want for your birthday, Ky?"

Ky was startled by the question. “Oh, I… I don’t know. I don’t need anything. This adoption is the only gift I want for the rest of my life.”

"Well, we've got to get you something. It's not much of a birthday without gifts! Parties are always optional, but every year our family makes lists of things we want for our birthdays. It's pretty common."

“Oh… wow.” Ky smiled a little. That was a good point. If she was going to be a Loquitur daughter, she needed to participate in family customs. “I mean… I’ll need to think about it. I’ve never really had anything since I left home, except Petrir. And he’s brand new.”

"Well, what do you like to do? I use my hobbies for inspiration all the time. And my interests. For example, last year Father got me a brand-new book of Eastern folk tales."
