[looking at this baby with an unreadable expression. congratulations on your adoption, taacoh!]
The front lines are no place for a child. [though, this is not mizu suggesting taair should have just ditched the baby.] ... The General may have to send someone away, to take the girl to safety. We can't just keep her.
[pausing, after clocking the way his grip tightens. buddy...]
Don't get attached. [bluntly.] You took her away from the immediate danger, and now she has a greater chance to live. Let that be where your responsibility ends.
[attachment will lead to heartbreak. if the kid gets sent away, there's a chance taair doesn't get to see her again.]
I know. [ quietly, gratefully: ] Wise advice as ever, my friend. I will. For now... I'll share my rations and the like with her until we can get her to safety.
I was only being facetious, Mizu...! One's size certainly does not determine their intimidating presence alone, but for Marcoh - well, it is certainly the, ah. Largest factor...

[ listen it's kill or be kill out there and this poor thing was so terrified she couldn't even move. ]
Whatever she wishes to do, I'll comply. The refugee encampments will be able to take care of her, if that's what it comes down to.
[ though his grip tightens a little bit at the thought, but - well, mizu does have a point, and he's too logical to ignore it entirely. ]

Were you alone when you found her?

It was Marcoh, who found her, and called me in for assistance. [ very, very fondly: ] She was terrified of him. I can't imagine why.
