Additional lines from Nasadi that I've not heard before - I usually jump straight into the main conversation - so figured I'd share!

Transcript of lines:

Nasadi: "Mind that you don't get mud on your robes, Itamen."

Nasadi: "Itamen, careful. Itamen!"

Avad shakes his head, smiling down at his brother. It’s easy to forget how young he is, sometimes - even after a prank like this one.

Itamen exhales heavily, relaxing back against his side, and Jiran’s two sons take in the calm quiet of a golden afternoon.

“Teach me how to keep it that way?” Itamen’s voice is quiet, but serious.

Avad has never considered having children of his own, not really. But as he looks down at Tam? He wonders if the bright feeling in his chest is the same one that fosters the softness he’s heard in the voices of other children’s fathers.

He hugs Itamen tighter, swallowing around the knot in his throat.

“We’ll learn together.”
