Excuse him, Vena is not crying. There are tears in her eyes and trying to come out her nose but if she just doesn't blink they won't spill out onto her cheeks. It turns out that totally suppressing tears is a skill and one she's let go out of practice. She can still keep from sobbing or having her voice go too weird, if she keeps taking a moment to breathe. "No, I was - I swore, oathbreaker, an' darkness. If he stole it, or - or killed someone. He did the directions."

This is not the clearest verbal description of what she'd pinkie-sworn Guts to on top of the stable, but Lashan picks up enough overall that she presses her lips together again and leans back. "You're not supposed to know that one, let alone use it... never mind, that wasn't a question."

As a mage, even a young one with just a bit of training, there's some power in a voluntary oath Vena makes calling on the Twins, even indirectly by indicating the cardinal directions. Feeling altogether annoyed and put-upon including by her own reactions, Lashan frowns at both children. "I suppose I deserve this. Can't repeat 'it's better to beg forgiveness than ask permission' so many times without someone listening," she says with disgust. "You know if just about anyone else here found out they'd ride through the avenues shouting it."
