"Ruvyn!" said Paige excitedly. "Lea, look!" Lea walked to the Inyanga who was holding the little Ruvyn in her hands. Tucked in a blue baby-bear flannel suit that covered his head and had two little ears on the hood, Ruvyn immediately drew attention. When Inyanga gave the little one to Paige, he started crying. "No, no, baby. Don't cry," she said. 

Inyanga laughed softly. "He is still not comfortable with the strangers other than Anastasia and Iona," she said as she took him back in her arms. As soon as Ruvyn smelled and felt the warmth of his mother, he became quiet. 

"Yes, my son doesn't go to strangers," said Haldir proudly. "But— but he loves it when I sing a lullaby."
