    Summary

    “Mister?” Khaslana’s own voice asks him, so bright and innocent in his childishness, “who are you?”

    Khaslana’s words catch in his throat, choking him, stopping him from saying anything that he wanted to. The child’s eyes blink up at him, wide and blue and happy. Trusting. Excited to see him, even.

    “Just someone passing through,” Khaslana says, and he nearly winces at the roughness in his voice. His words come out slowly, heavily, and pained enough that the child frowns. He remembers this. He’s tried this once before. He says, But you sound so -

    “But you sound so tired,” the child says, genuine sympathy and concern in his voice.
