Luneshale Pass good fortune

what Nazli gets from me shall be from me, she promised. and in his words shared, she saw his heart—who it would always be for, even though he did not then ask for her hand. my sister loved her. I love her. she is… ah. good, and sweet, and pure. I meant to make her one of my ladies—and my gift to her, my own gift, was her own choice as to who she might marry someday. when she is ready. the girl had earned that much! 
I will not have you marry our Amiirad, unless it is your own true wish. she breathes. she deserves love, as much as you do. and my own gift to you—you shall not marry either, until you are ready. Senmut would have his choice. 
Toula loved him, too—but then, when that time came, should it ever, it would still be his own choice.
