[ Xenk is fairly sure he has never held a baby in his life, but that fact alone is jarring enough to divert his attention to this moment, and this strange dream. He can't think of why Edgin's wife would have been killed by red wizards, or what this means for when they later met each other, or... any number of things.
Edgin did look younger here, but that's neither here nor there. Edgin has held out a child for Xenk to hold, and so Xenk holds her, careful to cradle her neck and clutch her in his arms where she will be safe.
Xenk is a lot of things, a lot of the time, but he would indeed not drop a baby. ]

She is yours, isn't she?
