EDMUND
Edmund relaxed when it was clear that his Mum wasn't angry, but he still felt bad. He knew she worried, and he hated to add to the stress that she was already facing with the looming war. He leaned his cheek into her hand with a small smile, closing his eyes. "Still, I'm sorry, Mummy."
Opening his eyes, he returned the tight hug. Nodding firmly against her shoulder he tried to reassure his mum, "I'm ok. It only lasted for a moment." Despite his growth spurt, the young teen still giggled when his mum kissed his head. "I know! It's so weird to suddenly be taller."
Stepping back, he played with the sleeve of his shirt nervously, "I uh... actually wanted to ask you to train with me. That's part of why I asked you to come here. The other part was well..." Edmund gestured vaguely to himself.

I never realized how beautiful
Fires burn under the stars
Fires burn under the stars
