A fine idea. At the very least, we may keep up our own skills with them. I have two young sons still at home, so I'm well-acquainted with their use.
[ Ned chuckles too, watching her pat her face down as if for worry lines. ] They make me feel young, at least. Having a five-year-old around. Although I think I aged ten years back home having to single-handedly keep my two daughters from killing each other. 'Horker face' would have been preferable to hair-pulling.
[ Thoughtfully, he nods at her explanation of her travels, then glances away when her question turns personal. Ned looks supremely uncomfortable. ]
Yes. What makes it strange is that - I have perhaps less than a week to live back home. My wife has been slain there, too, along with my oldest son. Yet he is here, as am I. I do not know what that makes me. A widowed man, a dead man, or married and waiting for a wife who may never come here.
