[ The Knight's view of family is...strange. They are bound to their siblings by - a call. A shared purpose. Painful regrets. Union, together, at last. A distant light, calling them into being.
But -- family is their half-sister, needle-sharp, warning them, testing them - and at the last, aiding them. Family is an old stag, holding onto hope for the future of a child he never met. A great hunter, wishing for the sum of his knowledge to be passed to a willing heir. A shaman still thinking of his sister, his aunt, his uncle. A mother willing to give up everything for her daughter.
They are not good enough with words to explain the feeling, beyond -- ]

[ If the Drifter doesn't want it, that too is fine; they will accept it.
But in part, they are trying to share that feeling with the Drifter, the warmth it makes them feel. ]
