"The man blustered, and I explained to him that you were under my protection, and a bit of what that entailed. He shouted to the woman, 'And also the police!" She was attempting to rifle the handbag concealing my sword. I did not approve of that, either, so I picked you up and left. I made sure that we were not followed," the Oakenling reported. Brin's lips twitched toward a smirk. "And the odd news?" she queried. "I saw only one Dark Sister, the one from the train. No others appeared."

"You fainted. I caught you, and since it was part of the deception, lowered you to the ground. A man from the crowd yelled to a nearby woman, 'Call an ambulance!' and to me, he said, 'Let me see her; I'm a medical student, and I know CPR.' As he proclaimed himself to be a healer, I thought it could do no harm to allow him to examine you. But he seemed to think you needed to be kissed and have your ribs smashed at the same time. I did not approve, and told him I'd wait for a full healer."

Brin stretched up, and pushing aside errant strands of both her hair and his which had fallen forward, pressed her cheek against his for long moments, before, with the lightest kiss imaginable, she scrambled up and away to sit across from Hawkeye. "So, tell me what happened after I became unable to perceive it?" the Candeliana Witch asked in an almost normal tone of voice. Hawkeye smiled wide, then his brows shot together for a brief second. "There is good news and... odd... news," he stated.

"Jess and I," the Oakenling volunteered, "we couldn't have children. She couldn't. But more than anything, my Jess wanted a baby of her own. The healers of my tribe had no cure." His eyes were far away. "We were on our way to her people to see if the shamans there might know of something that might help, when..." Hawkeye broke off. "I'm so sorry," Brin offered. He shrugged very slightly. "She is gone. Your husband is gone. Time matters not. Love is forever. All grief is one sorrow."

Instantly Hawkeye knelt, gathering her into his arms, resting her face on his shoulder. Once in a while, he would stroke her hair or back, but mostly the Oakenling simply held her while Brin cried herself out. Finally, eyes red and puffy, she straightened her shoulders, though not pulling herself out of his lap, and declared, "I'm all right now. It was just... all... too much." Drying her tears with long fingers, Hawkeye answered, "I know." He sighed, weighing his words before saying more.
