Aithne watched the scene with supressed humor. Poor boy... She'd rarely seen him this way- usually only in the presence of his mother, come to think of it. She reached out and put a hand on his arm.

"Guttersnipe- this is Cathair. ...my Cathair- from home."

She took his arm in hers, holding his hand, a small smile on her face. Forgive him. He's more Scotti than even I.
