EVIE
To say Evie is unprepared for what this day will bring her is a massive understatement. There is no way to know that her greatest secret, painfully and stolidly concealed, has been blithely revealed to the one person she dreaded knowing the truth. Instead she is enjoying her time back in the Grounds before she is due to return to Halo. Dropping off packages to her regulars, sweeping and wiping down the shop, and letting the familiar creaks of the boards and seeping scents remind her of home.
By early light she is back and determining which seedlings to take back to Loren as she'd promised. So when the door opens and let's in a swathe of chill air that carries a familiar voice upon it, Evie is present. And confused. Rising from her knees she pats her hands off on her apron and turns to see her twin brother coming through the door. Her returned look is puzzled but tentatively warm. They've made a great deal of progress in the past year, and Evie doesn't want it broken so soon. "I'm here Sam," she calls out to direct him towards the far window where she puts her seed starters. The shop isn't huge so she merely walks towards him, trepidation rising at his word choice. "What's wrong?" Aquamarine gaze immediately sweeping over extremities for any injury or further loss of limb.

Don't look up, just let them think
There's no place else you'd rather be
