oh don’t worry I shipped old guys Kes and Etto the second you said that Etto had always kinda had a crush on Kes and Kes kind of pushed him around a bit. bc it was funny. and Kes is a bit of an ass apparently. :3
Norasol, with her ear to the door, huffs in surprise, and says to herself, “Finally,” and goes off down the hallway to the guest room which she now knows will be vacant, since Kes is an overprotective nut and won’t let her walk by herself across the lawn to her own house in the dark. “I told him,” she says to the housedroid, who is powered down, “I told him to sleep with that boy, thirty-three years ago, and it would have saved us a lot of trouble.”
She sheds her housecoat and moves the little night-light to be in the northeast corner of the room where it might do some good. Kes has gotten worse about listening to her about those things, and it will cause trouble one of these days. The night-light still has a rune she’d inscribed on it for Poe, when it had been in his room, and she pauses, looking at it.
“I suppose it was worth it,” she says grudgingly, to the night-light. “All that trouble.” If anyone can talk sense into Kes, it is, and always has been, Etto.
It’s sort of unfair, Norasol reflects as she gets into bed, that she’s never once had to worry about Shara’s ghost being vengeful for her thinking ill of the woman. Shara never came back here. She’d been half-gone before she died, and since then, never a peep, never a whisper.
But then, Poe himself had begun to leave, in his heart, not long after she’d died, and it was only to be expected. Shara had been a spacer, and had never been tied to any land. She probably haunts her son instead, probably whispers around the intakes of his engines and wraps protectively across the windscreen, holds the cockpit shut against damage, increases the power of the shields. She might be the reason he’s survived longer than she did, out there. Maybe she’s doing some good.
Norasol can’t begrudge her that, but she wishes she hadn’t taken so much of Kes with her when she’d gone.
