[ There is a grim agreement of that. Inlé knows that there is much that could break the boy. Sometimes it is a wonder how he has not broken yet, although sometimes it does feel like he comes close to it. Her answer is a little short at first, a blunt truth of the world: ]

All children must harden with age. That is life.

[ Even without the horrors of the Dream and the Waking World, she thinks. Here, it is a much more pressing weight. She understands the worry of what might become of Peter Graham if he were to harden with that weight, it is a valid one. There's a short pause while she considers again. She is not simply just bluntness, and perhaps Susurrus deserves something a little more gentler to ease those worries. She sounds... hopeful in her next reply. ]

My Luna is still soft and gentle, is she not? Even with her experiences? She too has become hardened, shaped by the worlds: her home, the Dream and now the Waking World. And yet she remains who she is. The boy may harden to survive, but it does not mean he will be lost.
