"What is it, brother?" El asked his twin, who watched a sleeping Estel thoughtfully.

"I was wondering if we should curtail our forays into the wild for a time."

El looked at Estel, his brow knitting in thought. "You believe that our time is better spent here?"

Roh gently rested a hand on Estel's hair. "Our fight may be better served with him."

"You place our hopes on a child's shoulders?" El questioned softly.

Roh hesitated, helpless to explain. "Aye."

El nodded slowly, seeing the flicker of truth in Roh's eyes. "Let us pray our hope is not in vain."
