[He figured that if he threw in the information about the previous Seiryuu and his wife in the middle that it would be easier to take but it seems to leave her speechless. Not really surprising considering he didn't look that much older than her and certainly didn't always act like it. The boys had been surprised when they found out too.
But Zeno couldn't leave Kaya out and so had brought into their circle, introducing his long-dead wife to the friends of his present. All of them had accepted her fairly well though Kija was constantly trying to question him about why he'd leave her when she's sick or why he hadn't mentioned being a dragon to her - or mentioned her to them. Honestly it wasn't something he thought would ever happen until arriving in this place.]
Our Seiryuu named the squirrel after him. [Beaming as if that's the funniest thing ever.] Yep, Zeno said wife. Kaya has come to the school and Zeno will introduce you to her.
[He already knows who she's looking for.] Don't worry, the other Miss was safe when Zeno last saw her.
[She stares speechless for awhile. That the previous Seiryuu is here... does that mean the dead can—?
Yona blinks, an unexpected tightness creeping into her heart, her gaze falling to the floor.
Did Zeno have a wife all this time while he was traveling with them? If so, why didn't his wife come with him?
She has so many questions. But she knows better than to ask them all at once. Zeno has a way of revealing this type of information at his own pace. It's something she can appreciate about him. It's a lot to take in, but his calm grin does have a special way of transmitting to those around him, and she cannot help but mimic his actions.]
Kaya. What a beautiful name. I would love to hear more about her. When can I meet her?
[And Ao. The same name as their Ao. Yona immediately understands how their squirrel friend came by her name. It's a very Shin-Ah thing to do. She wonders about the former blue dragon, his personality, the tribulations of his past, living in that town, another lonely soul, swimming against the currents of time by himself.]
[Yes, that does mean the dead can come here. Including her own father or the many dragons of the past that have existed.
He knows, from experience, that knowing that the dead can be alive here does not prepare one for the dead showing up. It doesn't matter just how long ago that death occurred. Shin-Ah also now knows this experience.
Questions that Kija has tried asking him before and Zeno has managed to avoid actually answering. If Yona attempts to ask some of her many questions, she'll get the same run-around. Though he doesn't mind sharing the fact that she is sick. So far only Hak knows that Kaya has died... though Shin-Ah can probably guess.]
Miss can meet her now! Zeno can call her over or we can go find her.
[They would have met later tonight when they settled down for the night but he has no problem introducing them right now. He'd hoped that the two of them would be able to meet in this place - and now they can.]
The older Seiryuu is grumpy but Miss shouldn't let that bother her.
[Yona takes note of the thoughtful expression on his face, behind his smile, there are so many things about him that she still doesn't know. But she has faith one day he will share not only his good nature and warmth with them, but some of the sorrows he has seen as well. Every one of them. They all carry their own burdens, and she's been so fortunate to have friends that will readily help to carry hers. Yona only hopes that someday she can do the same for Zeno.]
Nothing would make me happier than to meet Kaya.
[What kind of person is Zeno's wife, she wonders. She already knows that she is a very special woman. Perhaps she is a good cook and she likes to laugh. Suddenly, an image comes to mind of Yoon in the wig he wore when they boarded Kumji's ship, a bowl of something yummy in one hand and a scowl on his face. She has to stifle a giggle at that thought. Kaya must be kind and very gentle. That's the type of person she thinks would suit Zeno most.
Yona finds herself laughing at his last comment. Somehow, it doesn't surprise her that the previous Seiryuu is grumpy. If he spent his entire life trying to repel others, what better way to do that than with a personality that keeps people at a distance. Isn't that what Shin-Ah tried to do to her? To all of them? Push them away. But the blue dragon's fear was evident. She could see it even with the mask concealing his emotions. There was nothing in that cave for him but darkness, and yet his soul was brimming with light and kindness. She bets the previous Seiryuu is the same type of person deep down.]

I look forward to meeting them both.
we can be late together
