Truly heads down the quiet hall to Kade's old room. Thankfully, the room is empty, and the house isn't too active either. Once she crawls up Kade's bed, she leans back against his headboard and calls her mom.
Coco bounds off Truly and races around the bed just as her mom picks up.
"Hello, me pearl. How was school?" Her mom sings through the line in their native language. It's comforting to hear and even more comforting to reply in.
"Mum," Truly sighs as she watches Coco climb down the bedding and debate if she wants to jump to the floor or not. "Ye didn't call ta ask me how school was."

"I don't know!" Truly shrugs. "I haven't asked Kade if we're doin' anyt'ing for it. T'at's te whole point t'ough, isn't it? Ye called t'is early to get yer request in first."
"Well, t'at's neither here nor t'ere. If ye don't have plans t'en I don't see why ye can'nt come join yer entire family for the winta equinox."
