He was hella glad he wasn't upside down any more. Kaden's spine stiffened, and his eyes stared at a spot on the wall behind her ear, as his mind lurched at that name, bracing for bad news but trying to look chill about it. "He getting better?" he asked, absolutely refusing to look at Marcie, sure he knew the answer. Barak, out in the world again. Barak, on the mend, even though Kaden had run off with they money that was supposed to pay for his care.
It was fine. He was fine. Chill. It didn't matter anyway, if Barak was gonna be Barak again. Wasn't like he was going to find him. It'd be nice if his body could realise that though, and unclench, holy shit.
