Oh, my. This made my face wrinkle up 'til I looked like a kinrath pup!

What a perfect companion piece to your other oneshot "Norm for a Scoundrel". Short, but full to the brim with yummy introspection, and ending with a killer last line. I love how you paint the relationship between the exile and Atton: the exile wants Atton to be happy; Atton wants the exile to be safe from harm.

Going to faves! :)

This is really nice. I like the musings and her reflections.

As a side note, I also like your username... Aravis... ;)
