I Am No Orphan!
Despite your misery you do, of how you've known him since early childhood, of his duties at your home. You were never overly close with him, but could depend on him whenever you needed real help.
He had pledged himself to your parents, he and his kindred, and vowed to protect you after the hurried flight during the siege. And after your other protectors have been scattered or killed he's proven to be the only one left you dare trust.
He had been planning to get you to your mother's people just before your run-in with the hateful old woman.
You're still too uncertain and tired to get into more, but you do give a brief description to the Captain and Dmitri, in hopes of finding him.
Just as you finish, there's a determined knocking on the door and you tense up. Dmitri goes to see who it is.
