Noah had to kill Whelk with his own skateboard, Adam had to watch himself turn into his father and apologize to us for it, and now that we're back you're around for the important shit like picking out curtains."
She pushes herself to her feet in one motion, not going anywhere really, just too frustrated to stay still, and she reaches up to a low hanging branch, standing on tiptoes. She's still too short to reach it, fingertips scraping the lower part of the branch. If she imagines hard enough, maybe Cabeswater will drop it closer to her.
"You really hurt him, you know?" she says, and squints at the tree like maybe she's not talking to Ronan if she does that.
