It wasn't the ideal situation, of course. On the bright side, they were no longer in immediate danger, they were no longer being tracked by Safin and his associates, and James at least knew a few people he trusted in this new place. But they'd lost Madeleine, Mathilde looked utterly traumatised, and the only thing she kept asking since they'd arrived was "où est maman?"
He didn't have an answer for her. Still back there, still in danger. Possibly dead. Possibly not. He was pushing his own fear and heartache down so that his daughter wouldn't read it in his expression.
James had sent the image to Eggsy, and then turned his attention to the five year old girl. He took his jumper off, and wrapped it around her shoulders. He sat down to wait for assistance, leaning back against a wall as she pressed into his side, hugging onto her dou dou. She had known her father for less than 48 hours and yet seemed afraid to be parted from him - perhaps it was simply that her mother trusted him, perhaps it was just desperation. He wasn't sure. He really wasn't sure how he was meant to do this without her mother. But there was no choice.
