Noctisardor Bypass i hope i never get sober

Oh, I don't remember the specifics. She sounded angry about the kids or something; it was really weird, like you weren't supposed to help raise them. She was using rather foul language around the kids, which was totally uncalled for. This was maybe a month or two ago, and I've been avoiding her since then. She just seems nasty.

Sequoia paused, letting that soak in for a moment.

I wouldn't bring it up, but she's still here, and I don't like the idea of somebody like that around the kids. I want them to have positive role models. Wylla is definitely not that, as far as I can tell.

She thought of Laurel's children, too. Sequoia had not yet met them, but would Wylla go after them if Mahler was helping to raise them, too? Was Wylla the reason he had refused every woman in Rivenwood? Did she have him wrapped around her poisonous little finger? It stood to reason, but Sequoia didn't voice those conclusions, which she was definitely jumping to.

I think she'd do the same to Laurel and her kids.
