Grayday nuzzle his son and gladly obliged him. "Blue sky, don’t fail me now
remain open, stay starred," he sang, booping his nose against Dauntless's.
"I’ll find you in the morning
climb over your craggy fist
beg the swallows and the songbirds
to teach me your name
"And my eyes are open, my feet unstilled
take me to freedom
to that place where the river took flight -
the place where the river, the place where the river
the place where the river took flight."
The verses repeated after that, changing places as often as was his mother's want. Here, though, Grayday paused again, leaning down to nibble affectionately at the scruff of Dauntless's neck. Soon enough, he'd lose his chubby baby fat, and Grayday would die just a little bit inside. "What about you, buck-o? Wanna sing for papa?" he asked, wondering if Dauntless would have any interest in that.
