| "Happily, we do resemble each other vaguely; that's enough, I think, since the family will claim you as its own," muses Lady Fand. Then, like a flash, she is earnest once more, "The real reason, Cousin...er...Nahira, that I agreed to this arrangement was for my grandmother's safety. Her peace of mind, of course, was also a factor, but I worry less about myself than I do about her." "Oh really? Why is that, Cousin Fand?" "This indisposition of hers, it is not of sudden onset; she has been struggling with it since before I was born." #CityofBlackStone belongs to @Pearlsdiner |
