Bezine couldn't quite keep a snort of laughter from escaping her nose. "Oh, you need to tell," she implored Tanya. "I know 'im only shortly in ze time after you are gone; I want to 'ear everyzing." Morgan groaned as she looked to Vihma. "Great, th' grown-ups are gonna get t' reminiscin' about...

Bezine's expression of gleeful satisfaction at Caden's reaction to the party turned to horror at the mention of the years away. She started counting on her paws, doing the math herself, before groaning. "O cavolo, we are old," she bemoaned the realization. Eirene chuckled and kissed her wife...

Bezine nodded her agreement with Caden's sentiment, then took another sip of her wine. She made a face before setting down her glass. "Kaden 'as to 'ave somezing sweeter zan zis," she grumbled, hopping up onto the bar and scooting across it to rifle through the liquors on the shelf. She looked...

Bezine tried her own drink again, grimacing at the taste. She'd barely learned to tolerate the rice wine in Hanshima, sticking to the sweeter flavors (peach, yellow, and purple were her favorite varieties); this reminded her too much of the moonshine served in Eirene's home village. Even thirty...

Bezine listened to Caden's recollection, her face falling as he recounted what had happened to his family. It was Bezine's worst nightmare, the reason she'd kept them moving for the past three decades, fleeing at the first sign of trouble. They'd circled the known world, trying to stay one step...

Bezine's relief at how well Seersha and Kaden handled clearing the air between them was tinged with an aftertaste of guilt not unlike that of the bitter wine as both Kaden and Caden voiced an uncomfortable truth about parenting in their generation. She tried to cover it with another sip of the...

Bezine grumbled from down the bar, "Masochista."

Bezine shook her paw out as it smarted from the slap, her glare at Kaden lessening as he actually engaged in what, by his standards, was a heartfelt apology. She returned to the bar, scooting up onto a stool and sniffing at the wine bottle herself. "I forgot 'ow bitter zese Felmarian wines are,"...

Bezine had never thought that she would see Kaden cry like this. In a way, it was discomfiting; he'd always been this larger-than-life figure in her mind, always taller than her no matter how lanky the young weasel grew, the beast who, no matter how dangerous the world became, would always find...

'Gates, Kaden was old. When she'd been a kit half Seersha's age, she'd believed he was old, of course, just because he was an adult and adults all looked old to her then. Now, though, with some forty years under her own belt and a world's worth of experience upon her, she could see how unkind...

Bezine stopped in her tracks as the young jill got a healthy measure of suspicion and skepticism right at the wrong moment. Bezine gave a wide shrug, letting her own disbelief show. "In zis town, coincidence is ze only zing you can count on one 'undred percent of ze time. Is 'ow I get exiled...

Well, Bezine thought on reflection, the girl was suspicious, which was definitely a Winder character trait. What she wasn't was clever about it. Seersha had given away more information than she'd sought in the asking, enough that a savvy beast of nefarious intent could have buffed their way...

Bezine glanced to Caden, feeling compelled to explain before he could ask. "You remember ze Vorskys, from ze old days? Zis is Bridger's daughter." Far better to introduce her that way than to explain the whole mess with Kaden. That would be Seersha's decision whether or not to explain that...

Bezine nodded along with Seersha's reflections, a small smile cracking at the mention of getting in blows on Kaden. Maybe Bezine would add in a few for good measure too. "I'll round it up to zirty," Bezine quipped, making an attempt at cracking her knuckles and failing entirely. Up on the road...

Bezine's face brightened up at the mention of the young artist's talent. "You paint?" she inquired, surprised. "Well, you certainly non getting zat from Kaden. I zink painting wiz blood is only 'e do. Zat is wonderful for you, Seersha!" She beamed as she added, "You find many 'ere 'oo will buy...
