Klaus’s forearms are thin (so very thin) beneath her hands, but Grace doesn’t let her processors think about that too deeply. She engages a smile instead, palms rubbing up and down her son’s biceps to warm the chill from his skin, gently guiding him towards the sitting room where the fire burns low.
“-- Klaus, dear, come sit down. It’s so good to see you...” His hair is longer, and the darkness around his eyes doesn’t come just from the makeup, but Mom thinks (wills, hopes) that he looks less pale than the last time she saw him. “...I heard you got your 30 day chip. That’s wonderful!”
Sir Reginald has long since retired, even Pogo will be sleeping by now. Grace can have this moment with Klaus all to herself. She clasps his cool hand between hers and urges him to take a seat next to her on the chaise. “... come, tell me how you’ve been. How is Ben?”
