Lazarus was...what? That doesn't seem right.

"...Oh," Arden said again. This time she sounded absolutely flummoxed. "You and your brothers are all...very, very good people."

She just had to sit with this for a few seconds.

"We do our best...and that's all right," Gray told her gently. "You can learn! I'm way older than you, and I learn new stuff all the time."

"I know, I just...flail around a lot right now, trying to figure out how to handle it. I think...oh, I think I see your brother." Arden was going to very properly look down at the blanket so she didn't end up checking out Alastair's chest when he got close enough.
