Kate’s-brother-Greyson said it,” Cress said. It took Mor a moment of thinking before he spoke again. “I think it’s bros before hoes. I heard Greyson say it also.” Cress’s face scrunched. “Hoes? What are hoes?” Mor shrugged. “It must be how human males refer to their women.” Cress was quiet for a long while, nodding and thinking that over.
