See, I'm almost afraid of what sort of trouble or experiences Rosa will learn on her own.

[It's in instances like this where Afonso feels older then he is. Really, he shouldn't worry as much as he does over his sister. He knows she's smart, knows that she can take care of herself and yet...]

[And yet the worry is still there and it always will be. It is just how this kind of thing works...]

Better to try not to imagine it. Even if you sit and ponder a long time, you will never be able to prepare her for everything. Just have faith in her that she will be able find her way out of whatever trouble she gets into.

How'd you manage not to worry yourself to death with five children? I mean, I don't even have a child so if I worry this much about Rosa.

Actually. I don't even want to think about that. Period.

[Diarmuid chuckles to himself before he replies.]

It is hard, but after a while you realize that there is only so much you can do. Teaching. Guiding. Protecting. Even after you do all of that, it's up to them to take the lessons and the advice you have given them and act on it. They are the true masters of their own Fate, not us. Never us, no matter how much we may wish we were at times.
