She sat up, staring with her nightsight at the outlines of the men around her. Everyone they passed watched carefully, knowing that something of great importance occurred this very moment. And entirely unwarranted. He really was afraid. She clutched him, snatched at her thoughts like fireflies flitting about her. Dont worry about it now. Needing reassurance, Eyrhaen glanced up at her former master. Im so proud of you. Hyles strong arms tightened about her, and he sat back, pulling her into his lap. I owe each of you an apology as well. Youre not used to all this atonement. Did you mean what you said before? Its not the same without you. They still refused to relent. The larger part of her brain writhed with the rest of her body. Dangerously serious behind his smile, he dragged his gaze back up to meet hers. He, too, enjoys your garden. I never thought Id be allowed to raise children when I was with Aletone. She ached for them after a life so long denied. His strange eyes shone but didnt swirl.
