"I have heard already, yes." Vai is beaming and reaching for Remi as she steps through the veil between Mort's realm and this one. A practiced hand at the journey by now, the witch almost makes it look easy, her arms folding around the Bastion to give him a warm squeeze, leaving a motherly kiss against his cheek as she steps back. "Congratulations, both of you," she tells him fervently. "And yes, we'll catch up later. For right now, I'd better keep to one sweet thing at a time."
Grinning and releasing Remi properly, her attention moves to Kaisel once he has stepped away. "Hello, young man," she says, trying and failing to hide her smile, which entirely ruins her attempt at matriarchal discipline. "I'm Vervain Calob. Flora calls me nonna, and you can call me Vai. It's nice to meet you in person at last." Does that mean she's been keeping an eye on things from the great beyond, or does it mean she's already heard plenty about Kai from Flora during their last meeting?
The answer, of course, is both.
