I just want Ira and Emily to bond. Ira showing Emily how to cook and showing her that Feste can do tricks. Carrying her piggyback across the rooftops. Teaching her Orathalan while Emily helps her better her Common Tongue Just, over all bonding.
And then Ira realizing she will never have this. That even if she does stop being an assassin, even if she does settle down, fall in love, and get married. She will never have her own children because she can’t.
And Ira crying for the first time in over ten years and Emily, shocked, just petting her hair and humming a lullaby Jessamine used to sing to her when she was younger.
