It was unexpected, but also expected. Her assumptions were correct about the silver and the general. Her mind drifted to the moment she saw them, the moment the silver stuttered, the warmth in the general words and eyes when they laid upon the stricken.

Agana was not in the position to give such advice; and truly, she was not, for she was not a mother herself, and did not intend to.

How could she know, when only now she touched the other for the first time?

She stood, quiet and pensive, a heavy sigh leaving her throat; all she could make out was a simple “I do not know,” as her gaze turned away in shame.
