Broken Boulder what will you dream of tonight, lady rachel?

fatherhood suits delight more than leadership ever did -- at least right now, while they're still small and unable to speak. he can still feel a looming void at the back of his brain, threatening every moment with its vast nothingness. it frightens him -- and it makes him push harder to win these moments of clarity. 

it doesn't make him social though. lord. delight at his best still hates being social. 

despite that, when he sees lily delight feels an urge to go to her -- he knows what alarian's told him (the argument, the depature) and little else. he thinks her return is a good thing... maybe? it's hard to tell. she herself looks like she's seen better days -- delight relates. cautiously he calls out to her in greeting, his approach slow and almost reticent, despite him being the one to initiate. still, he approaches: if nothing else, he should apologise for that time with queenie.
