I am glad to see these people again, but that's a lot to land on Marran all at once. (My strongest feeling is that teenager or no, Telo should have been able to tell him herself.)

Thank you! Should is no doubt true, but she knows if she did, she'd just end up staying with Marran instead and that was too much for her at that point. (There is somewhere in my notebook a Telo POV piece from a couple of months after this, but which I wrote much earlier, and I suppose I should probably type it up eventually! XD)
