Mathias laughs, nodding. "I talked to Lucy last night while she was still awake," he says. "Sam gets kinda... upset if she doesn't know where we are some of the time. I usually gotta clear it with her first before I do anything that's gonna take me more than half the day. Like a little warden."

He's joking about it, but it's true, and he understands it well enough. She's lost plenty of people in her short life and Mathias doesn't want her to ever think she's lost anymore.
