Dragoncrest Cliffs some flowers only bloom for the moon

 Furi's investment in him is .. something almost alarming, but at least unexpected. Étoille is young but he is by no means a youth and yet he has not given much thought to the idea of children, or of having children. He's always been a somewhat aimless drifter, rarely even indulging in romantic dalliances. Putting it into perspective it sounds quite bleak, but Étoille has never been unhappy in his solitude.

 But the way Furi looks at him now stirs something in his chest. He is suddenly immeasurably grateful to Eske for saving the girl, to Heda for allowing her to stay. Warmly the man leans forward, tapping the crown of her head with his nose. "Oui." He reassures. "And Wanlida will still be here." The titan is glad that Eske will be staying, even if it's a matter of practicality - he would hate the child to be left alone so quickly after they found her. He licks her snout almost hesitantly, unused to showing such affections but - really, really wanting to, for once.
