[ Edgin walks over, listening as Xenk goes on. Listening as he's scared. Kira is quiet in his arms, sleeping. Xenk's fear is so obvious. But he's already juggling one scared human.
Well, Xenk isn't a human, of course. But the point stands.
So, perhaps illogically, he holds out Kira. ]
Here, hold her.
[ It'll give Xenk something to worry about, other than his own memories. It'll make him focus. He doesn't like Xenk, but he's 100% sure he'd never drop a baby.
And, sure, maybe some of that certainty comes from that weird memory about the intellect devourers, but he feels it all the same. He's not going to question it now. ]
