"Dewi-" Patrick moved so he was sitting right beside his brother, and then he looped his arm around him. "Of course they want to know you. They're still here aren't they? They're overwhelmed, but who wouldn't be? They didn't run away. And did you hear? Addy has a scholarship. I think- I think they want to stay! Your kids are here, Dewi. They're really here. So now it's our job to keep them safe. And I promise you, I will do whatever I can to keep them safe, Dewi. Whatever it takes."
He glanced back towards the bedroom where the twins were, and then he gave Dewi a little squeeze. "If they agree, then why don't we all relocate to our place, just for a little while. I can make sure Kellan is nice to your cats! That way George and even....Wrath...can help. And Mairead is there. Having a human in the midst of all this can only help. And then the pressure isn't all on you. You can all get to know each other gently. We'll take care of them, Dewi. You all deserve this chance."
In the bedroom, Aderyn breathed out slowly, trying to regulate her breath. "Fuck. Right? I want to run, Iestyn. I want to run but I can't. He looks so- He looks like you. He looks so sad. I think he needs us, he just doesn't know it."
