"Your hand is still like that?" Asked Moriyana, still bothered by Rose's bandaged arm.
"We can talk about that later," ignoring her question, Rose kept following Laura as she walked them away from the committee of elders.

"So why are you here? I thought you were going to spend some time with your family," Margarette asked as they reached the stump of the tree with Laura's house.
