  = ~It was quite awkward, at first--Davrin had to learn a trade; he became a woodsmith, carved the most beautiful chairs--but we settled down just fine, eventually.  Had ourselves three lovely daughters, now all beautiful young women, two with husbands of their own.  Alrie even has two little boys now, both sturdy lads with the most beautiful brown eyes.~

  = ~Oh, yes. Our daughters were both grown women, and life was placid. A little too placid for our liking--we were both itching to see what was over the horizon again, so we packed our bags, said goodbye to our daughters and set out. We don't much like talking about that trip, it was... well, let me just say it wasn't pleasant.~
  = ~We returned home our purses a little heavier, but our outlooks grim. It took a few years for things to get back to normal, but soon we were talking about another child, and before we knew it, little Halandar was born. Then Mel and Calathra, and finally Thiraury.~

The priests couldn't do anything, and within days he had passed away.~  // remember to edit; it was a disease which is usually slow! but it was merciful. She couldn't save him.
