[The thought that people would want him around, even when he was at his worst, that they would want him around the kids, seemed so strange to him that it left him speechless for a moment. But Livio wasn't making him answer now, and that was easy enough, so he nodded, pushing the thought to the back of his mind as he glanced around the grounds, as if the children would just show up like they'd never been gone.]
It's...so strange. It's like after everyone left on the ship for Octovern. But how? [He had a moment of actual laughter. That was a phrase that he hadn't heard in a couple decades, now, but it amused him.] Eh, you still could. I answer to pretty much anything these days, really.

But then maybe that was just the fact that when he thought about his voice, it was often the sound of him calling him that that he remembered that was talking.]
We should probably check inside, just to be safe. If they're in Octovern again...I'm sure they're fine, but...I'd hate to leave someone here, all alone, because we didn't check.
omg I haven't heard tow-headed in YEARS, my country upbringing is very amused!
