Thorn watched him go and felt so sad. But she couldn't look it. She wasn't supposed to know what had happened to her husband yet. So she straightened herself out and waited to be presented with the terrible news.
"So they seem to be here but...no Theo," Aerina said and sighed. That meant they likely didn't know how Thorn was doing. "Oh where is he?"
"It doesn't look very comfortable," Mikki said. "I don't know how you and Aerina are brave enough to wear those kind of things all the time. Cataya too..." The girl wasn't there often but when she was, she definitely looked the part.
"Oh...Sorry, I must have been thinking of your brother," Briar said and started laughing. "Ah, that was so good. I'm going to be that awesome one day. Or not. It isn't like the world needs two of my dad."
