Exton

Mera sleeps peacefully in his arms. Keon watches the small motions of her lips as he listens to the plans. So many owe Morgan for what she has done, but none more than Nicholas, Gareth, and himself. But for the wee one in his arms, he would be going as well.

A pale wrinkled hand gently touches his, and he looks up into the eyes of the human, Grace. His gaze follows hers, taking in Star as she watches the room. A small smile touches her lips as she looks at the babies. Star's eyes swirl with color, a kaleidoscope of emotions. They settle into sadness as she glances at Keon.  He nods to Grace and the woman smiles, wandering back to where Torrent sits. Fea intercepts the human and settles into a chair next to her.

Rising slowly, Keon walks to the back of the room. He is conscious of the eyes following him, but he ignores them.  He stops by Guunnar and talks softly. The Viking's scowl deepens and he shakes his head. Keon turns and watches the room, weighing his private thoughts very carefully.
