And Emilia Moony cared about Eavan, was family and not just some nobody who was asking to be polite. “They were doing some good work there,” he said with feeling. “And she’ll tell you herself how she loved it, I expect. I was almost surprised she came back at all.” That was half the love of thunderbirds and the life out there, and what she’d been escaping in Scotland, but Conall certainly didn’t judge her for it. If it had been him, he’d have said six months or so was not nearly long enough to run away from anything.
