Description

***Full View Please!***

“Dad and I have been miles apart in the same room. If you want to talk about someone
who's devoted to his work, that’s my dad. He’ll spend all day in his study or
all week at sea. Doesn’t ask about my day or anything. He expects me to do well
in school and pretty much be just like him but I...I don’t want to be like him. At
least your dad’s not like that.”


-Daemon Irving to Terra Ruaric, age 9

Maybe this needs a bit of explanation. ^^; Daemon’s mother died in childbirth,
leaving his dad to raise him on his own. His dad was a merchant so he spent a
lot of time traveling trying to provide for his son and often left Daemon in
the care of various relatives. And Daemon resented it for a long time, mainly
because he just wanted to spent time with his dad instead of having to be by
himself all the time. And I thought this song described their relationship
pretty well.

And just so everyone knows, in the end, they were on good terms and reached an
understanding, it just took a long time to get there. XD

Beautiful!  The song is just so perfect.  A little emotional for me, which is strange; I've never been this sympathetic toward one of my own characters, let alone someone else's xD  That's the power of music for you!
