Gaucho nodded away Tae’s apology, though it did make him frown slightly. He was stern yes, but he had never lashed out at any of his children. Rarely, if ever, did he yell at them. A raised voice perhaps, but never an angry yell, and yet he was constantly met with shows of submissiveness and apologies that were far weightier than he would have expected. To other children and members of the herd, he was their khal and sultan, and ascended member of the Sun God’s herd. So perhaps their care and attention to obeying his rules were warranted from them. But from his children? Did they not think themselves exempt from viewing their father as a ruler and warrior king? Did they not simply see him as Gaucho, their father?

Apparently not.

”Hazze ajjin adakha anha eth tat astat..” Gaucho began, wading out of the water so that it only covered his ankles. ”Me ajjin vo a dis ato…”

The dun looked at his child for a moment, wondering if he truly did owe her this ‘confession’. She was just a girl, barely more than a year. Perhaps this was over her head, above her pay grade, out of her league. What good would come of telling her the intimidate details of what had happened with Nyx? Or, if not the intimate ones, the details of what would happen in a few short months? Gaucho clenched his teeth together, causing the muscles of his jaw to ripple across his dark cheek.

Perhaps no good would come of it, but he knew a world of bad would come if Tae found out on her own.

Still, it felt difficult. Why tell Tae? Why not tell Zenobia, Rhoa, Ivezho? Aelin or Hawk? Zero to Vinati ? Because where were they all? Well, Vinati he knew to be close at hand, but she certainly was far too young.

Tae was here and Tae wanted to know. Perhaps that was all a the permission he needed.
