Broken Antler Fen for every child who was ever born to pain and asked why

Ashlar wondered for a second why Illidan felt the need to ask, but he wasn't bothered by the question. It was an easy one to answer because it was on his mind always.  I do.  He said softly, sincerely.  He couldn't imagine not missing them.  They loved him so much and so well, and he them, but he also knew that they wanted him to come here.  They wanted it because he'd wanted it.

I wanted to see places.  But I wish they were here.  Ashlar looked down, slightly sad, but then smiled.  They'd like you.  He didn't know why he said it, but he thought perhaps the other man would enjoy hearing it.
