”See?” Lanam pointed out. ”Father and uncle could come back. They were good, like the family in the story were. It could happen.”
Kes opened her eyes and turned a little so she could see, keeping the blankets over for warmth, and she saw Anara smiling to their daughter and kissing her forehead. ”I can’t say for certain that they won’t.” She told them. ”Who among us can know such things until they happen?” She told her softly.
”I think it could happen.” Lanam said. ”Mother Kes came and saved us, and it was just like that too. She has powers like the Eight do in the story even.”
”If it did happen,” Tresit said. ”Then wouldn’t Kes not be our mother anymore, because mother and father would have been married first. Is that what you want to happen?”
”That’s dumb.” Lanam said. ”Why couldn’t they just share? Mother always says that’s the right thing to do, even when there isn’t very much water or food.”
”…Marriages are different.” Tresit explained. ”There can’t be three people, only Two. It’s like the story – Two, Two, Two, and Two – no Threes. It isn’t allowed. Even now, with the Eight betrayed, it’s still punished with death. Even a maj can’t do that without his sect taking his life for it and his name being cursed forever. The Eight would be angry and take father away from us again, even if they did bring him back.”
”Then, then…” Lanam looked frustrated, like she was trying to think really hard of something to tell Tresit so he would be wrong (Lanam liked it when she could make her brother admit she was right and he wasn’t), but she didn’t seem to be having much success this time.
”It’s alright, you don’t have to worry, Lanam.” Anara told her.
”I know!” Lanam said. ”Father and uncle could be the Two, a different Two. Then there’s no problem, see?” She told Tresit like she’d just figured out something really impressive and she expected him to acknowledge it’s impressiveness.
Tresit, in fact, did look kind of flummoxed, and he was actually blushing a little too. ”Well, it probably wouldn’t happen anyway…” He tailed off.
”But it could, you don’t know it won’t.” Lanam countered.

Double posts to wake up to – 4th July here in the UK, why does that date seem to be significant? :)
Look forward to more of this story.
Oh, you know, that’s the day when Americans celebrate that, at a certain point in history, a war was fought with the British for the right to be humorous instead of humourous… there’s fireworks and evveerrything ^_^;
