Blackfeather Woods on letting go

He watched carefully as Miraak settled before him and he felt himself stiffen. He was not used to such attention, certainly not from an adult, and Atshen did not know how to handle such situations. He remained as silent as ever as he laid and waited for whatever information that the Reaper would reveal to him. 

Taking in the information lightly as it came, Atshen paid little mind as Miraak started speaking. Though at first, it appeared that the child was not all that concerned with what Miraak's information. It was only when the word "murder" was mentioned that the Spiderling perked to attention and listened closely. Though he shared none of his expressions outright, Atshen was surprised when the Reaper mentioned not killing any of the Brotherhood's brothers or sisters. Had he somehow figured out his grand plot? If so, how? These questions swirled in his mind as a question was asked of him. 

Despite his internal unrest, he looked up with little emotion, shaking his head as an indication that he did understand.
