"One year."

Pinako stares at the boy, who stares back with fierce blue eyes, strange in his brown face. She recognizes the look.

"That's unlikely," she says dryly. "I've known grown men take four or five."

"I'll do it."

"Telemakos," his mother says, her soft voice carefully steady. "Love, if the doctor--"

The boy's one hand clenches on the edge of the bench. His eyes don't leave Pinako's. "My sister needs me."

Ah. Pinako looks at the mother; at the father standing grim-faced by the door. "If your parents agree."

The man lets go a harsh breath.

Shakily, Telemakos smiles.
