Summary
Why would I care? Shir asks herself. Am I seriously thinking about...about becoming my father? Giving in to them, when not even a year ago I was screaming at Olake in the woods about signing the treaty?
Maybe he had been right. Maybe she had been too young to understand, too uneducated. That’s what Itinerant had respectfully suggested: that Shir just didn’t know better, was too sheltered and small-minded to see the scope of the world.
If Yawa knew, or if Olake did, they would allege she had some kind of attraction to the man. In her heart, Shir knows that to be false. She wants Itinerant’s approval as she once sought her own father’s. But he had compromised, and so she had let him go. That was all there is.
Shir was not compromising anything, for she was not a coward.
OR a Tain Shir character study, because her backstory in Monster was too compelling to let go of until I wrote a fic.
