That was a bit too far. “I mean, Loquitur sold his own daughter. They’re both kind of shit.”

"He what?" Helge sat up a bit straighter. "What did he do?"
"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
“He sold his own daughter to Tarr,” Jerica said. “A fourteen year old girl. To a complete brute. Because he was scared of his big bubby.”

Helge leaned back in his seat, brow furrowed. Viol had stopped drinking. "He never told us that," he said quietly. "Little Lyra? She's with Tarr?"

“Well, not now,” Jerica said. “She’s with Ash now. But that’s why they’re still fighting and shit.”

Helge took a deep breath. Viol rose. "I'm going up there to talk to him." "Not now." He pulled her down. "You think they'll let you in? And at this time of night?"

Jerica blinked, looking between them. “What? … you know them?”

"Tom's been my best friend since we were kids," Helge replied. "Me and him and Roddy, and Viol was sort of tasked with keeping an eye on us. Roddy's her little brother."

“…oh.” Shit. Jerica nodded. She should run her mouth less. Perpetually.

"But Roddy's in Ash's army," Viol said morosely. "And apparently Tom's gone and fucked up even worse than we thought."

Jerica cringed and nodded sympathetically. “…wait Loquitur’s best friend enlisted against him?” Drama.

"No. There was a draft." Viol wrinkled her nose. "He didn't have much choice in the matter."

Jerica blinked. “That’s shitty.” The brothers kept falling even lower in her estimations.

"It's usually optional," Helge added. "But Ash was paranoid, it being his first war and all." "So now Roddy's marching up into Tarr's territory when he should have been home last month."

“That’s shitty,” she said again. “Meanwhile Loquitur and Ash are keeping their own hands clean, of course.”
