"... Don't hurt him. I'm - already missing one kid."

Permalink

"I'll try my very best. I don't - know what I'm doing, really, but I learn quick. I told him I consider it relevant information if I ever do hurt him, anyway."

Permalink

"Good. Thanks. Mind the stoicism. He'll just - ignore himself if you let him."

Permalink

"Any guidelines on efficiently wielding keeper status about that?"

Permalink

"Uh... Pay attention, he's sometimes a bit too subtle for his own good. And when you see something worrying, ask him about it."

Permalink

"Okay. I really do not want to hurt him, I promise."

Permalink

"Thanks. I figured I wouldn't be his keeper forever, but - this was not how I was expecting it to go."

Permalink

"I'm at least as surprised as you are."

Permalink

"I bet," he snorts. "Any worries I can soothe about what he's like?"

Permalink

"He's been pretty soothing on his own. Preemptively promising not to stalk me and so on. I had to tell him a couple times that I promised I'd shoo him if I got tired of him petting my hair."

Permalink

"Yeah, that's him. Hair petting?"

Permalink

"In the initial deluge of secrets he mentioned that he likes my hair, probably for magic reasons, it's nothing special, and that he would like to pet it. And a bit later on I said I wouldn't mind."

Permalink

"Aha. Strange. Cute, but strange."

Permalink

"The whole thing's strange, but I don't think that thing is strange in context."

Permalink

"Fair point."

Permalink

"What should I call you besides 'Aldaras's dad'?"

Permalink
"Vernus. Or, if you felt like being snarky, Zevaia's dad."

He sounds sort of - sad. About that one. For obvious reasons.

"There's a chance the necklace will get her back. It's the only thing I've ever heard of that lets someone ignore the knife calling."
Permalink

"Yeah. I'm - considering myself pretty damn lucky that Aldaras got out all right."

Permalink

"I'm flattered that I fall within the parameters of 'all right' over here."

Permalink

"... He's not cut. He's not dead. He's not crazy. He's not permanently crippled. You seem all right. So - pretty damn lucky."

Permalink

"Ah, I have - fairly dismal competition. Got it."

Permalink

"Yeah. Sorry, not going to lie to you and say I'm thrilled about this, but I am taking my victories where I can get them."

Permalink

"No, no, I understand."

Permalink

"Good. Sometimes I think people don't, with magic."
