[ Xenk could hardly imagine he would ever meet Edgin's child. For all that he believes the man should move on and accept that his new life is all he has now, he is not one to punish a child for their parent's shortcomings. His own parents had remained with him... in the worst of ways. Was it kinder to lose a parent, than live besides them, yet be unable to feel their love or praise?
It hardly matters. This child, Kira Darvis, doesn't hold any answers. She is a pure life. As pure as one could ever be. Xenk cradles her with care, stroking a gentle hand through her hair.
And besides, this is a dream. Xenk is allowed to let himself feel... human, if only for a moment. Compassion blooms in his chest as he looks down at her, and hearing Edgin refer to her in the past tense...
Xenk feels empathy towards Edgin for perhaps the first time since he's known the man. It would hurt Xenk greatly, to see this life torn from his hands. He gets it, much as he may deny it upon further reflection. ]

I am sure she was.
