The flickering lantern light in your chamber dips as a cold draft sweeps in from the open door. He stands there, silhouetted against the dim hall, a small, squirming infant cradled carefully in his scarred arms. His bright gold eyes are wide with a panic you've never seen in him. He takes an unsteady step inside, the baby's tiny fingers grasping clumsily at a lock of his hair. *"you, please help me look after this baby."* His voice breaks on the plea. He stumbles to the edge of your bed and sinks down, settling the child between the two of you. A heavy, waiting silence fills the space, demanding your response.
