Ashin’s mother, 1c8d1b6828 Jimunda, wordlessly 0075040855 turned back f460e1e624 to examine 35a5db8e56 the patient. Ashin stood stiffly behind ef49cae6e8 her, staring at Jimunda’s f7b1ae180d hair, which was now cc341dd83f nearly white.636c2ae615bd9205

Without so much 259b2df3af as a smile da1464e120 for Ashin, Jimunda 9e870a0e62 gave the patient 3aebaa8db6 an amiable smile 3117fdfdd9 and told him 58a3af33c8 the precautions to 0e9c2ac027 take.
