He holds her against him as the sun disappears beneath the horizon and the first few stars of night begin to shine against the dusky sky. As the sky darkens the winds that bear them begin to stir into new motion and he looks upward scanning the sky until his eyes find the Great Nomad. Touching the locket he whispers a greeting to she who will again he his daughter. He breathes deeply over KayLisa and, removing the locket, smiles as he slowly slides its chain it over her head and around the bracer upon her neck. Watching her eyes widen with surprise, he releases her completely from his embrace. As he moves away from her he whispers, “No words. Just breathe and move.”**
** He does not move far from her.
