Whatever she'd been expecting, it wasn't that. Wylla openly balked at Mahler. Who?

She had to actually wrack her brain to even recollect who Sequoia was. She couldn't recall anyone with that na— oh, right. The overreacting skank. Wylla truly did not remember saying anything unkind to or about Sequoia or her children. She couldn't recall even being upset with her, besides the part where she'd shielded her children like Wylla was some kind of monster — that part, she remembered quite well.

Obviously, she's exaggerating, Wylla scoffed. That was literal months ago, they couldn't even talk, and clearly it didn't have an effect on them. I've had perfectly good interactions with them since. If you counted intentionally frightening most of them, anyway. It was still an improvement over her treatment of Ciri and Elke. I watched the dancing lights with Druid the other night.

Him coming to, what, scold her for something that happened forever ago? That only served to fuel her belief that Sequoia was just a shit disturbing and manipulative twat trying to keep Mahler to herself. Why would she wait two months to bring it up if it was so heinous, besides needing to add some more drama in her otherwise unremarkable life?

I swear. It's how I speak. If I did it in front of kids, um, oops? Didn't mean to, she kind of riled me up by claiming you're their father. It must've just slipped out. I don't even remember what I said but I wasn't "upset" with her until she started acting like I was gonna beat her kids for no reason, and then I left, because that was insulting. She'd sworn in front of Phaedra and Thade a hundred times, and they were fine, minus the part where Thade was kidnapped and never quite settled afterward.
