"Aye!" Khaishan laughed, pleased at that response while leading the boy over to the chest, dropping to a knee to pull free a pair of small fishing rods, one with a a handle carved with horse designs, another with birds, for Ein's consideration.

"Time will do much to dull the edges, for all it doesn't help now." Zhentani agrees, watching as a pair of her daughters are leading some of the children on a game of chase over the sand and through the shallower waves.

They will wake crying less, they will feel safer and grow bolder and more adventurous in that safety and you'll find your own wounds heal as theirs do."
