Thank you. [ Mercy says shyly, looking up at Alfie for a second before looking back down at her drawing. She squirms - and then moves so she can press herself up against Gwen's side, hiding. Gwen gets an arm around her, glancing up at Alfie with a sad little look. ]

I drew him with his coat, 'cause I know he misses his coat. [ Mercy says finally, pointing at said coat with her crayon. ] Is your beard big enough, Uncle Alfie? I didn't wanna mess it up.

[ Gwen closes her eyes, resting her head against Mercy's. She's exhausted, but listening. ]
