[ Starting, a little -- shoulders up and back tense when her catches that voice.

Turning around slowly now, and feeling like someone who'd been caught doing something he shouldn't, somewhere he wasn't supposed to be.

Tiny voice now: ] I..Inquisitor Kyriff-Clayce. I-I was just... [ cue awkward motions of the hand. ]

[kyriff]

[He's just going to smile, and smile, and wait for the words to stutter away. No judgment from this one. None at all.]

Worrying over your sister. I know.

[And now he's going to sit right beside you, and turn his gaze to where the only man he has ever loved is doing what he does best: saving another life.]

[renascens]

[ Hunching over now, head lowered even as he's peering up at you because wow, a real angel is going through his head.

And then he's following Rethe's gaze back to where the Voidseeker and his sister are talking. ]

I didn't mean to get her in trouble.

[ Tugging at those sleeves again. ]

[kyriff]

[Glancing at the boy again, and shaking his head with that same gentle smile.]

To be honest, I think that you had very little to do with it.

[ He wants to protest, because Maggie has always been his responsibility and it had always been easy up until they got to Falner.

Watching Aidan and Maggie again, dropping his gaze into the hands that have stilled on his lap. ]

She just misses Mom. I think... she's afraid she won't come back.

[ He's tried to reassure her that it wouldn't be the case. Because he's watched how his mother just... thrives in this place, how the people here are good for her. For them all. ]

And there are too many strange people. [ He's... not entirely sure, after all, how he feels about the Montelibanos. ]

[kyriff]

[Plopping his hand on his chin, looking like he completely understands.

It's the truth: he does. He remembers, briefly and painfully, what it had first been like for him after Aidan Clayce had become his Source. When he was still far too angelic for his own good.]

Falner can be a little overwhelming, yes. But you are all surrounded by people who care about you, even if they may not be very good at showing it.
