He was momentarily taken aback by her response to him. She was acting more like a daughter of Sohalia, rather than one of Ampere. Ominous news delivered to Sohalia was always met with grace and poise, patience and a silent turning of wheels. With Ampere on the other hand … He might have expected a stomp or snort, might have expected her to demand that he get on with it and say what he had to say as quickly as possible. This was clearly not Tae’s reaction, and he wasn’t sure whether this fact should please him, or cause him dismay.

But there was little time for this line of thought just now. She had invited him to continue, and the dun knew that the longer he lingered with the thoughts unspoken, the harder it would be to have them come out.

”Chek….” He began, his voice that of one addressing an equal, rather than a Father speaking to his daughter. Because in this, she was his equal. This was a moral failing he was about to confess, and such things were not appropriate between a father and child. But between a khal and a member of his herd? Certainly. Especially one who had pointedly asked him of it.

Gaucho continued, implying without coming right out and saying it, that Ampere’s disappearance had in fact worried and hurt him more than he had let on. This much he had expected Tae to already have gleaned for herself. Pausing, the dun looked behind them, into the Oasis. It was where he had first met Ampere, and in his minds-eye he could easily see the blue of her feathers glistening in the sun as she bathed. It pained him to verbalized just what it was he had to say.
