COMPOSURE - (It’s a widow move. My husband just died in a tragic accident so I’m going to make tea to occupy my hands.)
The water pump is outside. It’s not far from the cabin but he’s been moving things back and forth from the Dyster house, so he reaches for his key first. Then he checks the canister he went out to fill this morning. There’s enough for two cups of tea, so he fills the kettle.
“Uh no, she was Abigail’s. Her dad found her. Will Tarkin. I think the name is a joke.”
Mouse creeps forward to sniff in Reira's direction and beep up at her. She sounds like an off key rodent. Or like a stuffed animal with a bad voice box.
“…he was really into hunting.”
Not unlike Abigail's other biological dad but luckily very unlike him in all the other ways that mattered. Harry puts the kettle on the stove and pokes at the wood logs below. They crackle pleasantly. The smell of smoke is mild, the whole thing properly ventilated by the meticulous care put into its installation. He wants to curl up in front of it, like a big bear.
“Actually Abigail told me- they met the same day he found her with parasites in Kulen? So when he was talking to her he had a little kitten in his pocket the whole time.”
