The other, under the table, about him taking her for his ward. As old as Telcoltl was he had never been a guardian. He hadn’t liked the idea of someone being dependent on you. Someone having to follow you and know where you were most of the time for their peace of mind. But things with Emmaline were different. Telcoltl wouldn’t mind any of that at all.
