Thade family Hearth, Rer, Karhide, Gethen. Friday afternoon
"You haven't told me anything!" Sether poked Sov's arm.
"Not true. I've told you lots of things."
They were sitting behind the garden shed, which offered some privacy from the younger hearthsibs, at least for a while.
"You haven't even told me what they look like," Sether objected,
"Yes, I have. I told you some of them have really pretty clothes. And some have very long hair, like the southerners."
Sether made a noise which made it clear that it wasn't enough by far.
"You'll just have to come and visit," Sov said. "They have days where family are invited."
"Really? I'm not sure Gran would let me go."
Sether did have a point.
"You just have to come up with a very good reason."
"Oh, like what?"
The conversation continued with a game of coming up with the worst possible reason, and eventually dissolved into bubbling laughter.
