Lena shook her head a little. "No, never. You've never scared me." She says.
Falkor nods a bit and smiles gently. He looks to Travis. "I don't doubt a single thing you say and am grateful for your care of her."
Lena bites her lip a little again then asks. "Do...I have a mom...or brothers..."
Falkor had to hide his pain as he looks to his daughter. He had hoped to avoid the subject for now but he couldn't lie to her. "You are an only child. Our joy."
He takes a moment then adds. "Your...Mother passed two years after you were taken. She became ill, the doctors tried everything. "
Lena tenses at those words, there was a deep sadness in her as he said them but still she could bring up an image of the woman. She rests her head back against Travis' chest.
Falkor could see the pain in his daughter's eyes but also the confusion. "Perhaps we can talk more in the morning? You must be hungry." He says gently.
