Jona ruffles his hair in an it's-all-right, sorry-about-that kind of way. (Her parents were both alive when she last checked, amazingly enough, but when you're in prison with the sentence she had you tend to force yourself to accept that you're never going to see them again. It's helped.)

"That a recent thing?" She's tactful enough to keep her tone gentle.
