Hawk frowned and sighed, and fell into her shoulder. "Sorry." he mumbled. "I just thought you...could help me understand." he whispered.

Temp frowned and sighed, grabbing his belt and sitting up. "Fine." he said slowly. So you don't want me either...

Aimee sat up with him. "No! Temp. Please, don't think that I don't want you. Please. You know I want you and that I've wanted you for... so, so long." She put her hand on his hands, holding his belt. "Please?"

Lina nodded and pulled him, reflexively, into a hug. "I'll... tell you... just..." She sighed. "Don't leave us."

Hawk blinked at the hug but nodded. "I'm not going to leaves." he said. "My friends and my home...no way..."

***

Temp frowned and shook his head. "I don't get it. You tell me to stop and now you say you want me?"

Lina took a deep breath and nodded, letting him go. "You're both."

"I want you" Aimee said. "I just... it's my fault, alright? I know you must think I'm... completely strange, but I really, really like you. I don't want to mess this up." She said, looking at him. "You know I want you. I've... I've told you that I do. But, I'm not like Merci.... I've never gone that far before."

Hawk blinked and his mouth opened a little. "So...who's who?" he asked. "My father? My mother? Who?"

***

Temp sighed. "Me either! But I wanted to...I don't know. Take a chance. Live a little maybe. Stop dangling on the edge. You know."

Lina swallowed. "Your father... married one of us," she said quietly. "He brought you here... so he would not have to sacrifice you to their gods. It took the eldars... long times to agrees, but she had been one of us... so they couldn't say nos."

Hawk swallowed. "You....you thinks my Father is still alive?" he asked. "You think I could find him?" he asked softly. "No...no...you're the only family I need Lina." He smiled and her and nodded slowly. "Nevermind...I don't...need to find him. At least it explains a lot."

Lina watched him take it all in quietly, nodding a little. "Don't... tells everyone you knows... alright?" she asked, slipping back to her normal speech.

Hawk shook his head. "I won't." he lay down in the tent and folded his hands on his stomach. "Wow...so...I mean. I'm just some crazy half breed. What will my children be like? Who would want to marry me? What am I going to do?"

Lina shrugged. "Your mother found a Forger," she said off-handedly. "You will find someone."

Hawk sighed and shook his head covering his eyes. "I have a headache." he mumbled. "This...isn't fairs."

"Stop thinking so hards?" Lina suggested. She shook her head and got up. "Do you wants tea or something?"

Hawk sighed and glanced over. "Okays." he said sitting up. "Tea is always good right? At least it will be something to put in my stomach till dinner."
