I see. [Sort...of...]

And you don't resent that?

[hagrides]

Not at all. I love my child dearly.

[onerous]

That's sweet. I'm glad for you, honestly, to have something like that. You must miss him a lot here.

[onerous]

My dear child is endlessly curious about the lands we travel to. They warm up to new people easily, and enjoy taking naps on their friends. They're learning quickly and growing by the day, now.

I couldn't be more proud.
