" Are you afraid, son?" the count asked, more gently.
"Y-yes, Father. I wouldn't lie to you, even about that."
The count reached out and with an odd, awkward gesture touched Alain on the cheek, a brush more than a caress, almost as he would pat one of his beloved hounds. "There's no shame in being afraid, Alain. There's only shame if you let your fear cloud your good judgement. "
