This was actually a pretty good take on Halastair! I think the tone used for the voice is overall pretty solid. I would maybe say with some line direction it could be incredible! If line 1 was more whispery and wearier and 2 more gentle and warm, those would be a bit stronger? Three's read was mostly close, just needed again a bit more of a calming nature to it. I intend to do some directing for chapters 2 onward! :D
