Joslire was at the forge, getting ready to make more horseshoes. It was sad knowing that it would not be Boromir to whom he would deliver them. He missed the man greatly. And his little son. He put an iron blank in the fire, and suddenly in spite of the summer heat and the fire, he was chilly.
It was winter, but a sunny day. The breeze was chill, but not icy. He and Laila were quite comfortable in light jackets. Laila saw someone, and trilled out a greeting, running off to greet the person. Joslire turned and saw Laura. Laura knelt down laughing as Laila came running across the grass. Laura scooped her up and kissed her chubby cheeks over and over as Laila laughed. Joslire watched with love and joy in his eyes before going to join them and getting kissed in his turn.
Joslire looked around and he was back in the forge, on the floor. He stood up, and wiped his hands. The blank was not over warm; Joslire must have only been out for a moment. He said a gentle 'huh' then dusted off his hands and went back to work.
Seeing what she had left Laura with a sense of needing to see Joslire. Not for any particular reason, just that it had been so good and the moment was so real that she wanted to make the kiss a reality for now.
Once Laila was awake, she walked with her to the forge, telling her the entire way that they were going to see daddy. She called out at the door and Laila bounced in her arms as soon as she caught sight of Jos.
Joslire looked up and smiled to see them both. The look in his eyes was exactly as it had been in the vision. He quenched the horseshoe, and met them in the doorway, wrapping them both in his strong, smoke scented arms.

"Did you fall asleep?" she asked, studying his eyes.
