I have Enough
Timewise this is not long after Haji reveals to Tamas & Nicky what he learned about his father, so late autumn of that year. Nash's arrival is still in the future.
The night has gotten long and morning isn't far off as Haji sits thinking. Khefri have up long ago and is sleeping on Haji's leg.

Tamas comes in and drops onto the hearth next to him. Since he is mostly dressed, Haji has the suspicion he's been in the forge most of the night..
"What's all that?" he asks gesturing to the game and book.
~
"Some of the stuff NaNa sent me that belonged to my parents. She'd put it away, waiting to see if I'd ever want it." Haji says softly.
~
He picks up the book, marvelling that the colors had stayed so bright and the cover crisp in the island humidity.
~
He opens it and read the child like wrting on the frontpage
"My book, Elisa McCowell"
~
"McCowell, eh?"
~
"Now we know the name of her clan."
~
"You know the family?"
~
"Not personally, no. But you've heard of Finn MacCool?"
~
"The restaurant chain?" Haji asks baffled at why Tamas is bringing that up.
~
Tamas grins
"Well there is that...it is nearly breakfast time."
~
"But no," he goes on, "Finn MacCool was one of the early kings of Ireland. Something like their version of Arthur."
~
"Ethan could tell you more, but Fionn Mac Cumhail is the name in old Irish. The legends crossed the channel into Scotland and Man... or perhaps it went in the other direction.. but no matter, the point is it's a family with a long pedigree back into Druidic times."
~
"Of course, legend isn't fact nor is it accurate."
~
"Of course."
~
And neither is the rumour that says the McCowell family is not only descended of Fionn but is the real power in Ireland."
~
"Dragons in the familly as well?"
~
"Rumour says so.."
~
"Only rumor?"
~
Tamas's lips twitch.
"Well you know rumour: has run around the world twice before Truth get's it's boots on."
~
"Yes," Haji murmurs softly. He looks off into the distance.
