Great Bear Wilderness what a shame we all became.

"No, that's all, really," he answered thoughtfully. There actually was more that he would have said to Peregrine, but Elwood's reaction to his words made him quite certain that he didn't know Ty himself. There was concern and care in his features to be certain, but it was of a different breed than there had been in Lasher, who had known the girl quite well. The truth was, he wanted to know how to fix Ty, what to do to make her happy and whole again. Though he knew it likely involved reconciling things between her and her family, he still held out hope that there was something he could do for her, something he could provide, some magical word he could say that would trigger her smile, which he missed quite desperately.

"Actually," he added after a moment, "Perhaps when the weather is better, in the Spring.. He would come to visit her? I'm sure she'd love to see him. I understand that now is not the best time to travel and that it would be quite difficult for him to make the journey given his responsibilities here, but just let him know that The Sunspire would be happy to have him." He knew that it would be dangerous to have Peregrine there, to allow him to speak to his daughter. Such a meeting might end up with Ty leaving them to be with her father. But hopefully, Peregrine would postpone his visit until the Summer, like he'd suggested. That way he could have more time with Ty, to try and help her heal without her father's intervention. And, if by then, Summer still hadn't succeeded... Then perhaps it would be for the best that she went with her father, if that truly was what would make her smile again.
