Zander nodded and looked back at Ua, switching to her language. “We’re not sure. Let’s go find out, shall we?”

"Yeah!" She wriggled back out of Imali's arms and dashed off down the stairs.

Zander smiled after her, glancing back at Emery and switching back to Upper again. “Seems like they warmed up to each other quickly.”

He nodded. "I'm glad. Ua needed a kid her age to hang out with. And the fact that the twins are around now is doubly good."

“No doubt,” Zander agreed. “It’s good for them all, I think.”

"I think there are three here. A blacksmith's apprentice, Kazhra's daughter Ishai, and a stable boy named Arril."

“Oh!” Zander’s eyebrows show up, then he gave a little smirk. “Does Ky know Ishai is Kazhra’s daughter?”

"I mean, Kazhra mentioned her a couple times earlier, so maybe she picked up on that." Emery smiled slightly. "That might make for an interesting dynamic. If she doesn't know, should we tell her or let her find out?"

“I say let her find out.” Zander’s smirk widened. “Let them make friends first so Ky doesn’t run away.”

Zander nodded. “Perfect, then… Hopefully they hit it off quickly, too. What’s she like?”

(Throw back to that time in undergrad when I was hanging out with who is now my best friend, and we walked past the hands down scariest science professor there was at the entire school, and I give my “hellosirhaveagoodnight” and try to duck away and she goes “UNCLE BILL!” and gives him a hug. The betrayal was real xD “YOURE RELATED TO *HIM*?! WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME?! HES TERRIFYING” and she was like “*THIS* IS WHY I DIDNT TELL YOU—“ and it took me a hot second to reconcile my wholesome best friend being related to the terrifying ice king lol)

(WhAt! That's hilarious; are you on good terms with him now??)

(Haha oh yeah, I was never on bad terms with him. He’s actually very kind, just quiet and terrifyingly smart. And he is still both of those things lol and I am still a lil afraid of his side of the family hahah I went to her med school graduation in May and met her grandparents and her grandma was like “and then Billy—“ and my brain came to a screeching halt xD You can’t say that)

“That does sound like they’ll get along well.” Zander thought of a moment. “…I do hope Ky won’t admit to being scared of Kazhra to Ishai. That could get awkward fast.”

You know what the big problem is in telling fantasy and reality apart? They're both ridiculous.
