“Hey you’re home, how’d everything go?” Asher sighed heavily, he had hoped she would be resting or possibly even stepped out so he could let his morning settle in. He probably should have known better. Morning sickness had encouraged her to stay in for most of the week. “Not as well as you hoped I take it?”
“I had forgotten how tedious some of these plot holes can get.”
“You have always been quite the snob about these things Mendel.”
“I am not a snob. I just prefer a story that makes some damn sense.”
“Don’t worry about them though, I know Ashe can seem like a giant dufus but when it comes down to it he is fiercely protective of his people. He saved me more than a few times when we were out there, mostly from small dumbass mistakes I made but sometimes... I don’t know... He always seemed to know what was around us and that self-surgery wound? It did heal... took a little bit longer than he said but not as long as something like that would for me. Those people... the ones from the colony out here? I don’t know where they came from but they aren’t normal Port.”
“I ran into my brother...” No reason not to confess that much.
“Aren’t they supposed to keep their distance?” She asked with a bit of curiosity in her voice, “You hadn’t seen him yet had you?”
“No I had not and I am not sure what he thought he was doing but Levi always has this way about him. Like he has to test the boundaries, no matter why they are there.”
“Oh... Oh!” Bastian chuckled a bit, “I would know a bit about that! So you’ve found yourself in that fucking trouble? And this girl really likes you?”
“Fortunately for me, it seems she does.”
“So kid, what do you need?” Bastian’s inky black eye seemed to follow him, or maybe it was just hard to miss and therefore difficult not to focus on, “I thought I heard something about you being dead... and then not dead...Congratulations on the not dead I guess. Now what do you want?”
“Thank you... umm, I kind of needed to talk about your father.” Asher confessed with a great deal of hesitance.
“Fuck... “ Bastian choked, “You really know how to pick the worst fucking subjects man.”
“So, young man, tell me are you ready to be well?”
