Blackfeather Woods become the beast

Anyone and everyone, Miraak replied to his question of whom it was Astrid intended to seduce with her skills. Thus, he was able to piece together a roughly hewn meaning of the word courtesan with the information he’d been given: someone that seduces without bias …but for what reason. “For information?” The imperial asks next, wanting to fill in the last missing puzzle piece of this profession and why it is important. Miraak’s next question is a heavy one, and considers a great deal of thought afforded in a lingering silence as Kahlil processes it. Would he just roll over because they deemed his life no longer worthy? He is a titan of the Tundra (or he will be, someday when he is full grown!) and his life belongs to him. He knows the answer and understands that it may mean he will not be welcome here, never welcome here but tenacity is in no short supply within him — as unfortunate as it may prove to be for Kahl — and the young sotapäällikkö cannot accept the idea of allowing someone to dictate his life is over because he ceases to be useful to them. He is destined to for great (and perhaps terrible things) but he is not so suddenly sure that Blackfeather Woods will be the catalyst to them as he’d first thought.“Would you?” Instead of giving answer, Kahl turns the question to Miraak seeking the older man’s response first before he gives his own.
