"He...Piper..." He looked at her with a sorrow filled gaze. "I'm sorry, Piper." He hesitantly held her hand out to her, for her to take it. "My father...was similar to yours. Hated me. Called me names. Punished me for things I didn't do and for no reason at all. My mother didn't do anything about it. Didn't say anything, really. Just went along with it. My family died the same time Liah's did. I'm glad for that. To be free of them. They spent all their time telling me about things I couldn't do. That I was useless. Treated me like I was nothing." He sighed softly. "Piper, I understand that you don't want to lead. I had to lead Trishanakru for longer than I expected. I don't enjoy it. But if...when I win, you won't be leading Azgeda along. You'll have me to help you with it. We'll figure this out," he said softly.
