Brekke considers for a few moments. "It may be nothing that requires you to be concerned."

"Probably not" She admits "I have always been overly.. nosey I guess, by troll standards. I think part of it is it ... well, don't loved ones share such things?"

Brekke gets a distant look for a moment, and a bit of a wry grin. "They do, but to varying degrees. There are elements of our lives that your father and I don't speak of often, and it took much time for us to speak of them at all."

"So, give it twenty years?" A brow lift , but a bit amused herself

"Give or take." A nod.

A groan but a good natured one "Well, he's worth it" She leans against her mom and then says "Oh, I have a letter from Jessica." She hands it over "Sorry, forgot about that. Read it when dad gets back. SHe's looking good by the way" And she relates a little of the metting...

Brekke listens with interest!
