Jedao keeps one arm firmly around the bulk of him and pets his little head gently with the other.
"Yeah," Jedao says softly. "I hear you. Please let me?"
And then he starts to sing again, picking it up with the lesser-known verse, that earns the melancholy air of the melody, the part that Godric would more often sing only after he thought Jedao was asleep, the one Jedao eventually figured out was for his absent namesake.
"The other night dear, as I lay sleeping, I dreamed I held you in my arms. When I awoke dear, I was mistaken, And I hung my head and I cried."
I've been heartbroken, Jedao told him, but it's not just understanding. You could break my heart too, he means, just as much as he could break Edwin's. You could break my heart, but you'd still be my sunshine. He ducks his chin awkwardly to give Edwin a tiny kiss on the top of his head, then goes back to the chorus, in the same soft, lilting baritone.
