John cupped her face, fingers brushing stray strands of dark hair away from her eyes. "I know ..." he whispered, "I know ... we were looking for her and somehow ended up here ..." he closed his eyes a moment, remembering all-too-clearly the almost overwhelming sense of panic that had consumed him when they'd realized Pa'u was gone.
He opened his eyes and looked at her, reaching suddenly into the pockets of the pants he was wearing and drawing out a crumbled and singed picture of their daughter. "I found this in the wreck of the shuttle when I went back ..." he handed it to her, it would be something for her to hold on to.
"And we'll get off," he told her firmly. "We'll get off if I have to kill birds and weave their feathers together and fly us off, but I swear to you, Aeryn. We'll get off this place and find her"
