(Hehe, knowing professors outside of school is so weird. My German professor's husband teaches my brother piano and my biology professor goes to my church)

(Haha it really is so weird. I also went to church with my bio prof when I was in undergrad and he was like “at church you can call me Enzo but on campus I’m required to require you to call me doctor” and I was like “ha-ha, that’s funny that you think you have a first name other than doctor, Dr. A” xD)

“That’s good.” Zander nodded. “I’m so glad she can have friends her age again. I think Tadaaki’s the only friend she has in this world — apart from her new siblings — and even he’s got what, 6 or 7 years on her?”

(Whoof)

"Then this'll be really good for her. Has she been around kids her age aside from her sisters at this point? I mean, after getting taken?"

“I don’t think so.” Zander sighed and shook his head. She briefly mentioned an older stableboy that she was replacing after she first got taken — Alcan, I think it was — who she seems to have counted as an ally. But he was heading into the mansion as a page, which is why she was replacing him. So I don’t think they got much time. And that’s been over a year at this point.”

"Poor thing." Emery winced. "Must be hard not to have had peers. It's important to have someone to lean on. Tadaaki was good, absolutely, but nothing helps like having someone your age around."

“I couldn’t agree more.” Zander sighed. “It breaks my heart. She asked permission to have friends. I just..” he sighed again.

Emery looked dismayed by that. "Seriously? Gods..."

Zander nodded grimly. “I’m eternally grateful for what Tomhas has done for her. But part of me wishes he’d left the bastard alive for me. I’ve never wanted to kill someone as much as I want to kill Aleth… but that ship has sailed I guess.”

"It has indeed." Emery grimaced. "I didn't see it actually happen but I saw the body and the snow after..."

“Did you?” Zander perked up, looking over at him. “How did all that come about?”

"Well, the way I remember it, Ky excused herself after spilling a glass of wine. She was panicking, I think. Aleth excused himself as well and then they both started yelling, and Tomhas ran out after them. He chased Aleth to the horses with his sword, got a hit in, then sliced him open at the stomach." Emery shuddered. "I hear he was still alive for a few minutes after that. Gaius was out there too, talking to Aleth while Sera comforted Ky."

Zander nodded, expression staying perfect neutral even though this was a topic guaranteed to piss him off any and every time he thought of it. “What were they yelling about?”

"Hoo..." Emery thought for a moment. "He was trying to kill her. He thought she'd given him away. What actually happened is that Tomhas told Gaius everything in the tent. But I guess Aleth didn't like the vibes over dinner, so when Ky fled he decided to keep her from telling them any more. Something like that."

Zander twitched, face hard, but he nodded. “What a bastard.”

"I think Gaius wanted him to die slower, but Tomhas got there first and started having a panic attack a little after, so Gaius couldn't do anything more."
