Ohhh, I don’t know, anon. On the one hand, awww, presuming it’s end of the series Aneela and Kendry, having grown considerably from when we met them, that would be such an improvement for baby Dutch over the childhood Khlyen did give her. But I did love grown up Dutch with Kendry. It’s such a catch 22, without the suffering that made her, she wouldn’t be the person who then saves all of them in turn.
But it’d have been so darling to see baby Dutch get the childhood she (and Aneela!) both deserved. They’d have been so protective! And if they were the people they are now, immortal, they wouldn’t even have to deal with training while also competing with her, as the Qresh seem to operate. Even those glimpses of a not very balanced Aneela with young Dutch were so lovely, to imagine them together with more support…ugh, the Lady and Khlyen have so much to answer for.
