Yorda listened to Urd's story, carefully sipping her tea. She looked bemusedly over at Genie as he turned red, reaching over to pat him gingerly on the back. Was he choking? But no, he swallowed his tea quickly. Withdrawing her hand, Yorda tilted her head to one side. "Are you alright?" she asked, smiling a little. He didn't seem hurt, judging by the laugh, but it didn't hurt to ask.

She looked back to Urd, then to Genie, then back again, certain she was missing something. She often got that feeling when Urd and Genie were together, but at least she was aware that she was missing things, now; before moving in with Urd, it was as though she had been living underground.
