'How do you, you know, keep memories ... from when you were a child? Do your memories show on your tails?' Rory asks me. His head is cocked to the side, his jaw clenched. I can feel his heat. He is trying to keep upbeat.
'Tapestries. Yes. If a Mer wants to remember something they leave it on their tapestry. The important things will imprint there anyway. Like a birthmark. If you want to remember something in particular, you have to scratch it in, or scar it.'
'Does it hurt?'
'Not as much as forgetting.'
