Beautiful little scene. Only one quibble: You described him as a young man, and it's early in the war. I thought probably Jason, maybe Mark or Tiny. Keyop would have been a pre-teen, not young man.

Great work with the involuntary flashback, and Princess immediately understanding.

Author's Response: Thanks for the review, Cricket.  I made the change.  You know, when I first started this one, I thought it was about Jason.  It wasn't until later that I realized who I was writing about.
