He Was Starting To Foam In the Heat...

Ani's bare feet made almost no sound as he trotted up the hallway. Dada didn't make sense. Dada felt too hot. Dada was even starting to scare him a little. Grandma wasn't home. He didn't know where she went. So he would have to find his uncle. Ani thought Dada would prefer Unca Bai, too.

She smiled at the small boy but couldn’t hide her suspicion completely. “I’m pleased to meet you, Ani.”
She turned back to Bail. “I don’t suppose you found his mother as well.”

"All we know is she taught him Mandos," he shrugged. Look, the kid was still a prickly issue by Ben and Bail knew that if his brother could, he'd leave the kid and run as fast as he could. He... didn't want to think on that, actually.

That wasn’t entirely a fair judgment of Ben. He adored Ani. It was simply that he felt the child deserved better than him.

“So she was a Mando or at the least related to one.” The doctor sighed. This all painted a very grim picture and there would be no real answers until her patient woke.

She took one towel and began drying Ben’s arms. That done, she brushed his hair out of his face before starting on his torso. “If you would dry his legs, I would appreciate it.”

"Ben can't remember," he said with a shrug. He wasn't going to add that he swore blind the child wasn't his until Ani made it perfectly clear that yes he was. He took the towel, and began drying off the legs.

The doctor gave her patient a worried look. This just confirmed the picture she’d already gotten.

“Mama go ‘way,” Ani added. “Mama call me jetiise.”

Bail stared at Ani, then back at the doctor. He didn't actually know any Mandos so he was in the dark as to what it was Ani's mother had called him.
