Degan slowly rocked Aurelius in his lap. He softly brushed her cheekbone with his thumb. "So young, but yet so old. Your life has not been easy. I hope this was all worth it. I hope we all find our freedom. " He whispered softly to her sleeping form. After a moment, he looked over at Zia on his shoulder. He reached up a hand to scratch under her chin, but stopped himself halfway there. " Sorry, you're just so cute as a racoon, that I tend forget you're not to be petted like an animal." He explained embarrassed.

Dust nodded. "So be it."
