Instantly he regretted mentioning Kalt; even without the ex-assassin's explanation, he would have known from her face alone that the news wasn't good. That Theea was missing as well was the final nail in the coffin.

"You're back now," he said. "You're home. Your mother and brother will be along soon, so just sit tight until then, okay? You're welcome to stay for as long as you need." He glanced at Remi, assuming the other man would be in agreement given that he'd brought Ashe to the guildhall, but he still wanted to make sure.
