A light sprinkling of snow was drifting down slowly as Minnow talked. Tuft could sense her uneasiness as she talked about her family. “Did something to her?” Tuft contemplated.

He was afraid to ask her more about it, but he felt the words come out of his mouth before he thought more of it. “Did something happen to your family? You just seem sad when you talk about this place and your parents.” 

As someone who also has had family struggles, Tufts heart went out to her if it was the case.
