A/N - And here is a slight break from the drama...
"Amon, come eat," Nagira called quietly.
"No."
"You heard what the doctor said. It'll be hours still."
"She shouldn't wake alone."
"She won't. Come eat."
"No."
Nagira sighed and returned a few minutes later carrying two bowls of noodles. He handed one to Amon and then sat in a spare chair beside him.
Nagira studied him closer. "So...does she know you love her?"
His lips thinned into a line. "Yes."
"I'm surprised," he said, grinning. "Just be careful; she's young."
"She's almost seventeen."
"Well, at least she's legal."
"It wouldn't matter if she wasn't. It's not quite like that."
"Yet."
