WESSEX
“I don’t know,” she admits with a small shake of her head. “It’s certainly possible. She could have run in there for help and just… didn’t make it. I don’t know.” A thought occurs to her suddenly and she offers up the idea. “But if it was a follower of the Old Gods, they might be bragging about it. We should keep our ears open. Maybe try to do some digging after LongNight.”
She says it like it’s a perfectly normal goal and they’re going to be just fine after this LongNight. There is no other for her way to say it. They will be fine. They will.
Perking up a bit as she hears Aamu is staying with Mabel, Wessex nods in agreement. “Good, I’m glad.” Neither of them should be alone, she thinks. And if they can take care of each other, all the better. Unfortunately, she’s run out of things to say and stands there for a moment before offering a suggestion. “I can stay or go. It’s up to you.”
The Wraith will not intrude on her ghosts, but she will chase them away, if need be. For a time. And though her arms and belly are not soft like a mother’s, she will hold her, if Mabel wants that kind of comfort. She would do it for her.

there was a time that we were kind, but now
