"D'you have to go?" Buran says tearfully, tugging at Thayine's travelling skirts. "Elenna won't play knights with me like you."
Thayine pulls out her embroidered handkerchief and crouches down in the hay to wipe the tears off her brother's dusty face. "Oh, Buran, I'll be home before you know it. And I'm sure she'll play with you at least a little. You can practice curtseys together!"
Buran makes a disgusted face and she smiles tenderly. He abruptly throws his little arms around her.
"Miss you, Thay."
Thayine scoops him up and rises from her crouch, spinning around and surprising him into giggles.
"Tick, tock, tick, tock," she says and swings his legs side to side in time with the words. "What's the hour? Buran-o-clock!" At the last word, she throws the laughing Buran up in the air and catches him again.
"Promise to write me letters?" he asks when she puts him down again. "Ma said she'd read me some if you sent them."
"I promise, Buran. And if I see Jonthair I'll remind him to come see you all, all right?" she says.
"And Daran," he says.
"And Daran," Thayine repeats. "I've got to get going, now." She peeks out the stall door to see a hostler patiently waiting with her horse. She thanks him, takes the reins, and turns back to Buran.
"You'll be home soon, right?" Buran says.
"Sure will," she says while checking that all her bags are fastened tightly. "Before you know it."
She leads the horse outside and mounts. Blowing Buran a kiss and waving up at the castle in case anyone's watching out the window, Thayine heads for Corus.

I'd love to see more fics of the Tredbond kids!
Maybe once we'd have seen it during Smackdown!
