ROANA
I can hardly wait
to see you come of age.
Roana raised a brow at Remi, looking confused as he made a scythe blade appear in his hand. She wasn’t stupid, catching on to what this was all about. But for now, she was going to play stupid – the former captain wouldn’t admit to anything so easily. The alchemist suggested the boys play elsewhere, and Amalia suggested the bakery. The three boys gazed at Jyoti and the stares with awe, but Jax, the chubbiest of the boys, positively lit up at the thought of the bakery. ”Can we go to the bakery momma, please?! I wanna see it!” he said, nearly bouncing on his heels. The captain smiled a little and patted his head. ”Sure. Maybe you can pick a treat out for Ludo’s puzzle box.” she said, which made all three boys light up. They loved preparing Ludo’s presents.
”Go put on your coats, and you had best behave for Jyoti and Kiada and Auni.” she told them, as the boys rushed to put on their warm winter clothes before bounding happily after the starwhale, chasing the little stars in her wake.
Once the boys were gone, Roana looked back at Amalia and Remi, crossing her arms. ”Clearly this is serious?” she said.

But I guess we'll have to be patient,
'cause it's a long way to go.
