Summary
"Nona, do you remember how old you were when you came here?"
Nona gave Harrow a withering expression that caused Gideon to stifle a chuckle. Without a word, it was as if she was asking, ’are you stupid?'. She held up her hands, wiggling all of her fingers. She was ten when she'd had a seizure. Ten when her mother died, leaving her alone in a nightmare she hadn't woken up from.
Harrow felt a stab of pain in her heart upon seeing that weak glare. It was far too young of a face to pretend to be tough, too innocent of a gaze to have seen that much pain. She blinked against the pressure forming in her eyes, determined not to cry.
———
Gideon and Harrow stumble upon a loose end from Drearburh — in the form of a child. Camilla and Palamedes realize language development is easier than they expected. Nona loves her small, strange family more than anything.
