Amy made an odd noise somewhere between a squeak and maybe a growl before gently thunking her head into Jalen's shoulder. He let go of her hand to pat the back of her head.

"I suppose I could go talk to the Brat, see if she knows anything...if she's willing to quit being a pain in the ass and tell me straight, anyway." Though she'd been trying to interpret that jolt, and it felt more like disbelief than anything else.

She made a face at Song - even though she hadn't grinned, she could tell she'd wanted to - before continuing.

"Should I do that before we tell the others, or does it matter? And maybe we should have Eli do it. Potentially bad news delivered by an adorable toddler..."

Amy was only a little serious about that.
