For a man of his size, he could remain surprisingly still. It had aided his efforts in wartime notions, either in Isilme, Helovia, or Caido, and served him well now too, as the ursur reached forward to snag at the treat. He managed to muffle the quiet round of laughter threatening through his chest at her grasping at his hand, but when neither of them were worse for wear, and the food snagged, the Sword permitted a light smile again. No more he responded in kind to the little beast, rising back to his full height. “It is no bother,” he assured Alys, shrugging his shoulders.

for the space they take
and so, neither shall I
