At the mention of a father, Beau stiffens momentarily. Why was he the one Leto wished to escort her father to Verapaz? He had no clue that she had a father in the Teekons in the first place! Do neither Soto nor Leto know what father's do to men who lay with their unmarried daughters?

He let's out a breath. This is not the convent his aunt lived with. It may be his example of what father's should be, but he's always known that to be rather silly.

Surely Leto is sending him because of his charm; she wants him to win the man over.

With a chuff, he nods. Eso suena bastante fácil. He will go, and he will return with her father before the birth. He is sure.

He wants to outdo the other man she has laid with, to prove that he is far more worthy of her affection. He wonders if this may be his ticket.
