Emberwood you're a dime, plus ninety-nine

i can tell you the story some other time, bhediya laughed. there would be more moments like this, more time for them to share with one another. she was not upset by the sudden change of topic, but rather taken aback. 

was it too soon to tell easy about everything? she was afraid that by not telling her, it would be a betrayal of what little trust they were beginning to build. but if bhediya told the truth, would it scare her child away? 

she allowed herself a moment of thought before continuing. i'm okay, bhe sighed, a smile still clear on her maw, i forgot all about that stuff once we started talking. but their conversation would soon end and she would have to go back to pygmalion, go back to reality.
