Moments where he knows if he'd been a little faster, a little stronger, a little more sure, things would have turned out differently.

And this? Oh, he knows this will make him very happy indeed, and unless G'raha has somehow secretly mastered the art of acting, he can but assume the same will be true of him, too.
He pulls to a stop, using their joined hands to tug G'raha around to face him, an anticipatory sort of glee in the gleam of his eyes, the upward turn of his lips. ]
