Summary
Truly, she wants so badly to make him proud. No, not just to make him proud—to be just like him: strong and brave and fearless, keeping the dark at bay with nothing but a calloused hand and a lopsided smile.
Marian is neither strong nor brave nor fearless. She sees fearsome shapes moving in the shadows at night, only dispelled by the light her father conjures to reassure her, a flickering little flame that dances in the palm of his hand. After the light is extinguished, Marian safely tucked once more within her own blankets, she stares at the skin of her own palm and wills forth a flame to match his.
It does not come.
