"Does it really fucking matter if no one's after them, specifically?" It is a fucking impressive mastery of self-control that Rush is able to keep his outrage limited to a venomous hiss. "Particularly when one takes into account that there is, according to your word, an alleged giant doing fuck knows what and stepping fuck knows where."

This cannot be Rush's life right now. He is not arguing about the management of children, whom he cannot tolerate and cannot stand and cannot reasonably be expected to interact with on any basis whatsoever, with a woman who is intent on avoiding a fucking giant. He doesn't want to know the specifics of her universe. He doesn't fucking care.

He's extremely positive he doesn't.

"Since when do children ever stay right where the fuck they are?"
