Kelson didn't understand. He would give anything to see any number of people from his kingdom again, Morgan, Duncan. Rothana. God, Rothana. Or to see his father one more day, even just a day, for any of them. Maybe it was different for her. Maybe the pain was too much.

As for being cold, he wished he had another layer he could give her.
