Sorry it took so long, I've been really busy and haven't had time to think of anything good!

Katsa is stunned, and she just stands there, her eyes raking over every part of Landis's body. She's so stunned I can hear the thoughts whirling through her brain.

"I missed you so much!" that would be the most common one, while other like "what are you doing here, they could kill you!" and "what are you abilities? Who taught you to fight?" are also high on the list.

Po breaks the stunned silence with and awkward sigh, and then turns to me and asks, "Did you ever realize that some people don't like to have their thoughts read?"

I blush and fiery read, and a huge stone wall is thrown up around Katsa's mind. "I'm sorry," I whisper, "I still can't control my grace very well."

Katsa's gaze softens, and I know she knows what it feels like to live like me, although, from what I've heard, hers was a far more drastic tale. She turns to Landi, and holds out her arms. Landi stares for a moment, warily debating her options, and then she runs into her mothers arms. Her father is next, and even he is surprised with the force that she comes barreling into him. They just laugh and hug her all the tighter. I don't know what to do, so I just stand there and watch the happy reunion.

"I think we should sit down and talk. We owe you some answers." We follow them in a small room to the side of the larger one. Pulling out chairs, they seat themselves and motion for us to be seated. We both plop down into the assigned chairs and throw each other a glance.

Katsa starts, clearing her throat. "When we got pregnant, it was an accident, and at the current time, we were becoming dangerous enemies with a man whose name can't be said. I told Po that we shouldn't' keep the baby; it was too dangerous for her sake. So when the time came, we stopped at a small village and when you where born Landi, when gave you to your foster parents. All we could do was name you and be on our way, the man and his minions where right behind us, so we said farewell and left."

Po jumps in here, "we knew you would be safe with them, and we promised to come back and visit, but we never could."

"We got into a big fight with these men, an unfortunately, we couldn't kill him, he had two many graced fighting by his side. All we could do was to wound him terribly and hope for the best.

"We meant to come back and visit you then, but small things just kept popping up, so we never did, and now, this man is back, and he's heard about you. So he plans to kill you to get to us, that's why we never came back. Now that you are here though, you can stay as long as you wish; you can even travel with us when you get a bit older."

I can see tears in Landi's eyes, and she wipes them away with a quick flick of her hand. Her mind is closed, and I don't try to pry any further.

"Mom, dad," she says, turning to both of them, "that would be awesome!"

They both sigh in relief. "By the way," Katsa adds, "what is you grace?"

"tracking." Landi says, as though it's a bad thing.

They turn to each other and smile, "that is and excellent gift." The both exclaim.

They turn to both of us surveying us with eyes that have been rumored to do many things in the time they have been with their owners. "Welcome home!" they say, and I reverberates through their minds with the soulfulness

And that is the best thing I have ever heard somebody think.
