"Yes, Hafsa is Daddy Bear," Khal nodded, because why not? If Hafsa didn't like that well... too bad. Hafsa wasn't there, Khalida was. He was probably right about the other part as well though. Hafsa could be around Issac without him reaching inside of her. There was a reason Issac got to see Hafsa more than most people did.
Would he prefer Hafsa? Khal knew the old woman would show up if she was needed, but she had also come to trust that Hafsa was a better judge of that sort of thing.
Khalida kept tight hold of his flailing arms. "Stop it," she said again. It was firmer and sharper: a parental command and not a request.
