Stavanger Bay I'll sing to the stars just for you

Levi didn't reply verbally to Thistle's question, but instead shook his head silently. He couldn't sleep, not after what happened. But what was scary was the fact that Thistle was out here alone, and Levi knew his siblings would be safe and quiet for a moment without them. They were not far away, after all, and could return within a moment at a cry.

The boy listened to his mother as she spoke, as she lamented her husband's death, and brought up bad memories on top of worse ones. Levi didn't speak for a moment, but finally allowed a brief comment. "You are a good Momma and queen all the time, Momma. Don't worry about that." Whatever else she thought about doing, about leaving or abandoning them, Levi knew she wouldn't. "If you want to leave, I will follow. I stand behind you."
