The boy whimpers slightly -- frightened even in sleep -- and I hug him to my chest more tightly. It's been a long day, especially for one so young, and now so far from home.
I've never been good with children. I don't know why this one has attached himself to me. Master Dooku says it's because he senses the Living Force in me, and it comforts him. But Master Dooku wasn't here when Xanatos cried himself to sleep.
He shifts in my arms, snuggling his face against my tunic. I kiss his forehead, and then wonder why I did.
