So he hadn’t been overreacting. Okay. He could do this. He could be supportive. He could encourage her dreams. He could survive the silence that would surround him with her gone. He wasn’t sure how but Jajojin was almost confident he could achieve it. Maybe he could take up a hobby, though he wasn’t sure what. He had large hands so he didn’t think sitting in with the women as they did various types of needlework would work well and baking would leave him depressed since he wouldn’t have Madiquel around to sample what he made.
He had to stop thinking about that and the loneliness it was bringing on. The more he thought about it, the more he was likely to compare losing Madiquel to losing Denath and he didn’t want to scare her that night. Not that he ever wanted to, but the girl had already suffered from nightmares and didn’t need to cope with her crazy papa on top of that. He had to look after her, it was his job as a father. She never should have had to become his caretaker, especially when she was so young and having done it for so long. She deserved true happiness and to get what she wanted and Jajojin was determined to find peace within himself to make it happen and found a smile for her, a genuine one that reached his eyes.
“Of course it’s okay. Your heart is so big and filled with enough love for everyone. I’d expect nothing less of my girl.” Jajojin was genuinely proud of Madiquel and how she seemed to be able to like everyone and encourage them to do their best. She was always there for her friends and was willing to lend a hand wherever it was needed. She was well-suited for the life of a Healer. She was just too young to pursue it and who knew what the Healer Hall thought about the Weyrs lately.
He was going to have to have a talk with R’nya and make sure the man could make his baby girl’s dreams come true and get her into the Hall one way or another. Bribery could work. Did they have anything on the Masterhealer for blackmail? R’nya was stubborn, there was a chance simply talking could achieve the goal as well. But Jajojin would make sure it happened soon to make Madiquel happy.
