NASIM. This is such a gorgeous little piece, after our convo about Dad!Khalid last night. Rahmat is such a sweetheart - the way he worries about Aravis and his parentage as he grows up is so touching, and the little details (Khalid being 'stormy!' Ishamiel changing the subject (does he know?!? or does he just know Aravis doesn't want to think about Rabadash...)) of his expressions and upbringing just make it better.
AND THEN HE COMES BACK AND CATCHES THEM and oh my, I adore it. The way it changes everything about himself in his eyes to see Khalid there instead of Rabadash-!! MY HEART. What a sweet, glorious little might-have-been this is.
