Little Gojyo looked up as Jien set a big mug of milk before him. "Jien," he whined, "don't make me drink it..."

The older Sha shook a finger at his baby brother. "Milk makes you grow big and strong," he coerced. "Don't you want to be like me one day?"

"Nu-uh, you're mean." Gojyo reached for the mug anyway.

The hard plaster of the cast around Gojyo's forearm bumped the table, and the boy grimmaced briefly before putting his brave face back on.

Jien watched him drink, praying that the calcium would heal him quickly.
