Devin Metreedi is used to doing things his own way - but Karana, his 3yo daughter - is a puzzle he can't solve or control the way he's used to.

I was up even higher than you can reach!" Andry bent over double to sweep the small girl up in his arms. "You were, my lass. You're getting very brave." "Andry, don't encourage her," Devin said with a sigh, and as Karana's beaming little face fell, he cursed himself for his fumbling lack of subtlety. He should have left it to Andry, who seemed to have been born subtle. You'd think that having spent every minute together that they could arrange since their mothers first had them share a cradle would have gotten some of that to rub off on Devin, but no...
