In which Theo gets home late.

In the last couple of chapters we’ve started to get a clearer picture of what Kamele’s like when she isn’t (a) under a lot of stress and (b) viewed through the eyes of her also-stressed teenager.

Jen Sar may have pitched the case for Coyster in terms of the good it would do Theo to have him around, but it’s clear he’ll also do some good for Kamele, whether she’s prepared to admit it or not. (And I really hope that remark about Theo not having any strangeness to deal with was the stress talking, because it’s un-advertant to a degree that’s worrying to find in a scholar of Kamele’s standing.)
