The Sentinels Day dreamer more elegantly spelled

She sounded so much like an adult teaching a kid that he snorted and gave her a dopey smile but didn't say much, instead silently contemplating over what she had taught him. His expression changed into one of delight and happiness, his love for his children immediately showing "My kids....they're so different each of them. Minnow is my wanderer, she never stops exploring and sometimes it scares me but she seems to be aware of the rules and sticks to them. Ever since Aliac died Aeryn has gotten a bit quieter and closed off but he's okay really, he's a smart boy and I know he'll get past it. Valiant is...well he's outgoing, loud, brash but independent" his eyes got a glazed over look in them as he yammered about his children, his smile never leaving his face. As he fell silent his expression slowly changed, happiness fading into a sort of melancholy calmness "I left tonight to get away for a bit but I should be there. With them. I know that now" he said and turned to her, ears flicking as he stopped walking  "I have to head back..it was good to see you again Wraen. See you next year?" he teased her one last time, eyes bright and expression warm. She had saved his sanity and unbeknownst to him probably given him the knowledge to become a great man if he worked at it.
