he Ā keeps Ā his Ā eyes Ā trained Ā of Ā his Ā daughter. Ā despite Ā all Ā the Ā doubts Ā he Ā feels, Ā she Ā gives Ā him Ā strength. Ā he Ā shakes Ā his Ā head Ā at Ā edmundās Ā question Ā āøŗ Ā they Ā didnāt Ā speak Ā about Ā things Ā like Ā that. Ā the Ā unspoken Ā rule Ā is Ā that Ā it Ā doesnāt Ā matter. Ā the Ā only Ā thing Ā they Ā want Ā is Ā for Ā everything Ā to Ā be Ā ok Ā and Ā everyone Ā to Ā be Ā healthy.

Ā he Ā follows Ā her Ā gazeĀ Ā toĀ Ā findĀ Ā her Ā looking Ā as Ā gentle Ā as Ā ever Ā and Ā he Ā wonders Ā if Ā that Ā softness Ā is Ā what Ā made Ā leehra Ā swallow Ā back Ā whatever Ā she Ā had Ā on Ā the Ā tip Ā of Ā her Ā tongue. Ā edmundās Ā intervention Ā makes Ā him Ā turn Ā towards Ā him Ā again. Ā an Ā easy Ā laugh Ā as Ā he Ā lets Ā his Ā arm Ā rest Ā over Ā nooraās Ā chair. Ā āĀ is Ā that Ā a Ā challenge, Ā hawke Ā ?
