Beyond My Knowing, chapter 32

So, the best thing they could do would be to find Thalla and bring her home before it became an issue. They’d decided on Artem because he knew the city, and his sister, better than Kes did, and on Kes because she could use her mental abilities to sense out for Thalla’s presence nearby, and, hopefully, find her, even if they only got close enough to her for her thoughts to be overheard. Anara would stay with Miteza and Vastu to help Miteza pack so they’d be ready for the journey ahead.
”She’s…” Miteza continued. ”She’s only come back to sleep since it happened. Even before… It’s been… It’s been too long she’s truly confided in me.” She admitted with shame.
Anara reached a hand out to cover her sister’s. ”She’s at the age for that.” She told her in comfort. ”When I was that age, there was much I would only tell Ralka. Some things, not even him…” She admitted, feeling wistful for her own mother and regretful at any lost chances there might have been between them.
Miteza smiled to her, grateful.
”She’s told me precious little either.” Artem put in. ”She only really talks with those two friends of hers anymore.” He explained.
”Caya and Janarin.” Miteza nodded.
”Could she be at one of their homes then?” Kes asked as Anara mentally instructed her on how to cook the meal with the Kazon style oven. Tulk had been fairly well off, so there was still some produce in the kitchen that wouldn’t keep outside of a refrigeration unit and could be used to make a stew. Anara had always loved stew. Kes could see it, even almost taste it in the memory Anara had shared with her of it, and the prospect of making it for her made Kes’s heart feel warm and fluttery in her chest, anticipating how nice it would be to give Anara something like this that would just… give her joy.
Miteza shook her head. ”I know Caya’s mother, and Thalla knows her father enough that she wants little part of him. I can’t imagine she would ever go there. I… I don’t know very much about Janarin though.” She admitted. ”She’s kind. She’s always kind when I see her. But… I think she must simply be the type that avoids talking about herself…”

MITEZA has trouble showing affection and watching the interaction between KES/ANARA is puzzling to her since she only knew her husband but yet she ponders if being with a woman is expected of her or THALLA. ARTEM/KES need to find his sister and leave not wait until its too late and all is lost.
