Broken Boulder these frozen bones

so sorry for the hold up

In a perfect world, perhaps Queenie would seem different somehow — reformed, better, at least a little more tolerable. Some part of him senses that's not quite the case as he watches her, and the realization chills him a little. In an instant he's aware of Delight's presence — then his other daughter's, the one he'd brought to his den, and he can't help but think it's all so strange. How did he get here, anyway?
He glances to his sick partner, one of the few things still tying him to Broken Boulder — and he almost says something. But he doesn't. He swallows and turns his gaze back to Queenie with his lover's question ringing in his ears, trying to stifle all the anxious thoughts vying for the spotlight in his mind.
