He did not notice as Miraak approached, as he was all too involved with his thoughts. Instead, he remained withdrawn, and he fantasized just how he would tear the children apart. It was only as the Reaper spoke that Atshen became aware of the other's attention.

After a pause, as he gathered what had been asked, Atshen shook his head in response as a curious light danced in his molten eyes.
