Be careful. Quen wondered if anyone else was told to be careful half as much as she was. Did they tell Liyal to be careful? Were Amy and Cy told to be careful? Did anyone tell Peony and Merri to be careful? She always told Darius to be careful, because he was her only brother; but he just brushed it off, as though she were worrying about nothing.
"I'll be careful," Quen told Amy. "Peony will be with me, until I have them under control enough to do on my own." People always worried about her; she'd have to become the sort of person who could take care of herself so that no one else would have any need.
"Has anything interesting happened at the shop?" she asked, turning the conversation back toward Amy.
