Asked by Prince
"Kler hadn't minded the job at first. Kler's older brother, who used to do the milking, was gone on his quest. He hadn't wanted to go, but father had made him. The Chief in Tarboon said it was time. Father didn't want to attract attention, so, with what Kler thought was deep regret, father had sent Fron away."

Kler worked the pail with steady hands, the rhythm filling the quiet kitchen where Fron's absence had left a long, cold space. Father stood in the doorway, shadowed, palms clenched at his sides. To Kler he had shown only a folded mouth and the look of a man who had lost something; in the silent house that look read as punishment and apology at once.
When the Chief in Tarboon summoned a son, Father had answered aloud so the village would hear: "He will go. It is time." He had said it as if it were duty, as if the words were a rope he could throw to haul their family into favor. Inside, he thought differently — he saw Fron as if through a thin skin, vulnerable and bright, and he imagined every road's ending. He told himself the Chief's command would protect them, that sending Fron away would draw the eyes elsewhere. He told Fron, with a voice that did not betray the shaking in his hands, "Make this count. Come back when you can."
After he closed the gate on Fron's figure, Father stood a moment longer, saying nothing. In his chest the regret was honest and warm; in his mouth the justification had to be colder.
