needle in his throat

TAREK

Tarek is suprised at Yngvar's response, and he is quick to squash the notion. "Nonsense Yngvar. If it's anyone's fault it's mine. I should have come after you and made sure you were OK, so your mother didn't feel the need to do it." Tarek doesn't want Yngvar to feel like this situation is his fault, but at the same time, he doesn't want Yngvar to think he can make a habit of disappearing like that. His expression finds that of a stern father through the shroud of his anxiety. "Though it would be nice if you wouldn't disappear like that on us. We were all worried about you."

He then steers the conversation towards answering Yngvar's question. "Honestly Yngvar, I don't know what our quarrel is with Warsaw. I understand the conflict is long and complicated. Auntie Evren would be the best one to ask. Maybe she can explain it to us both later."

Tarek shoots an apologetic look to Evren, taking deep breaths to control his anger. Indira is right. He needs to focus. Evren didn't get them into this mess, and it's unfair for him to take it out on her.

Indira's sympathetic gaze follows the conversation around this circle of faces, but she remains quiet until Evren addresses her directly. "I know, Evren. We have so much to talk about, but let's get everyone home safe first." She offers Evren a sad smile. Indira regrets being away so long. As Evren reflects on her own bad habits, so does Indira. Indira has always been a wanderer, never staying in one place long. She misses out on too much, and lets almost every relationship die as she leaves them behind. Never again, she vows to herself, but only time will tell if her wandering feet can be convinced to rest.

Tarek stiffens at first, but then melts into Evren's warm embrace. What she says is exactly what he needs to hear. His stomach still turns with worry, but for the first time since Hanna's disappearance, he has hope. As Evren pulls away, and her voice trails off, Tarek levels her a pleading look. "Thank you, Evren. Please, just bring them home safe."
