Eventually, Galmar decided his best chance of finding her again was to go back to Niranye's house, near Calixto's old property, and hopefully find her or someone who might know of her whereabouts.

It was late; the Moons were out and the wind was bitter. Frost Fall was a cold, crisp month, but Galmar would feel a lot happier and a lot warmer in Hjerim with Rozenn or even in Candlehearth with some mead. He was tempted to put off apologising to Sofie until the next day, but he knew Rozenn would hear of it and be unhappy, and he knew he'd never get to sleep - the argument kept popping into his mind - and he wanted to make right what was wrong between him and the girl-child.

Eventually, footsore and mentally fatigued (Rolff had followed him around the town for a while catcalling and encouraging him to go to the Grey Quarter to make some Dunmer children cry until Galmar had turned around and offered to toss him into the river), Galmar sank onto the wooden bench in the portico outside Niranye's home, hoping nobody would either mind or notice. Drawing in air to let out a sigh of exasperation, Galmar's breath caught when he noticed the tiny bedroll in the corner, and the small, shivering form in it.

"Sofie?" Galmar whispered incredulously.

The shaking bundle turned and froze.

"What are you doing sleeping out here, child?" Galmar asked softly.

"I didn't sell and flowers today. Sometimes Suzanna would let me stay in Candlehearth, by the kitchen fires for some nightshade blossoms, but Edla needs coin," Sofie replied.

Galmar didn't know how to process this information. "I was looking for you. I wanted to apologise to you."

"That's okay, sir. Papa wanted to be your soldier, even though he didn't know how, and he told a fib to make sure he got to go to lots of battles," Sofie replied tonelessly.

"If I had known about your mother, child..." Galmar trailed off. "I might still have sent him into action, but I would have been more careful of him than I was. I am sorry."

The girl shrugged; the gesture looked odd in her supine position. "It's what he wanted. Thanks for talking to me."

"Girl," Galmar said, clearing his throat. "Sofie."

"Yes, Mister Galmar?"

"My wife lives in Hjerim. There's lots of fires burning, and plenty of food in that house," Galmar said, awkwardly.

"That's nice, sir. I'm really glad..." Sofie mumbled, without curiousity.

"There's room for a child. A girl-child, like you."

"Like... Are you asking-" Sofie sat up.

"I could adopt you," Galmar blurted, interrupting Sofie's train of thought.

"You'd be my new Papa?" Sofie asked, actually standing upright, now.

"No! Er, I mean, you should remember your brave Pa all your days, girl. I'd never try to be a substitute. But I could be your... Guardian?" Galmar hadn't even considered this option, but he knew he couldn't sit idly and do nothing. He hoped Rozenn would forgive him.

Sofie thought about it. "Will you call me a liar again?"

"Only if you tell lies," Galmar promised, hand on his heart.

"Pinkie swear it!"

And, for the first time in his life, Galmar Stone-Fist, Housecarl to the Jarl of Windhelm, General of the Stormcloak Army, pinkie swore with a little girl.

"I'll just collect my stuff and I'll meet you in Hjerim! Um.It's not still all bloodstained after Mister Calixto's attacks, is it?"
