Theory seemed satisfied by Rhyme's answer, even if it surprised her a touch. He was allowed to still want for things outside of the confines of their familial bond, but there was a part of her that selfishly wished he would forgo such things for a while longer. Theo wasn't sure what "on the right track" meant - how would anyone know if they were on the right track? It seemed like quite the grey area.
"Well..." Admittedly, since Tana's passing, Theory had been spending quite a few nights in Shaye's den. Certainly more nights than she spent in the old den beneath the large tree. "Maybe I can spend more nights with you." Even though she offered, she knew it would be a tight squeeze. Aside from Verse, her and Noir took up quite a bit of space. It seemed like she was growing more and more every day. "Why don't we both try and get some sleep? I'll come back to the den tonight." She felt older than her years. Maybe a good few hours' rest would lift the worry and anxiety from her shoulders. If only.
