[He puts down what he was carrying and wanders over to look at the pictures. He eyes everything with interest.
Mothers, he figures, or similar figures. Siblings, probably, going by faint resemblances with the older women.
Then there's one child that looks different from the teenagers but resembles a woman that's a bit older than Rowan, and he stops in front of her for a while. She reminds him of Elle, and he never thought he would miss the young-old girl who shares his siring heritage. But now, suddenly, he thinks that so much here would be easier if she was around. Not that she would be, he doesn't think - her apparent age would lock her out of here, he's pretty sure of that. Still, she was a hack at manipulation and moulding her surroundings according to her wishes.
His eyes come to rest on the young woman who resembles her and thinks, she could do a clothing trade with Charley and nobody would notice - but they don't really look alike - and then his eyes travel on to a young woman who reminds him of Olivia. Maybe Leila looked like that when she was physically younger, too.
And he stops himself at that thought, because it's getting ridiculous. It's like when he saw Annika in Ren. He's just looking for reminders where there's nothing proper to see. ...Except for the kid. She really does remind him of Elle. His eyes are drawn back to her.]
