"About my ma?" Rogers echoes, but - "Okay." After all, it means Winter wants to stick around a little longer.

He gets back to work, but starts talking, too. "Raised me herself, 'cause my dad was killed in the Great War before I was born. I couldn't miss him, but she did. She was a nurse, so she worked long hours and into the night a lot; I was pretty good at taking care of myself, except when I'd get sick. Then she'd ask if you could come over and keep me company."

He pauses, then laughs a little, clearly sheepish. "She was Irish - born in Ireland. Spoke Gaelic and English. She told me a lot of bedtime stories that I probably should've heeded a little better, as you know." Given what happened with their 'friend' Milo.
