Otter Creek if only for a while

He had taken @Relmyna to show her the world outside of the borders, lest she forget about it. He showed her what she had once had, the freedom to go where she wished, and even he was not sure if he offered it out of sincerity or only to dangle in front of her what she could not have. Perhaps one day she would be free again, when she became a true dark sister, but not now. Not yet.

Sheogorath showed her plants and he let her carry some of them. Had Relmyna's face not been so messed up, scarred over, her body still clearly showing her near-death experience, and had Sheogorath's body not been so ragged and thin, then perhaps they could have been a family picking flowers to an onlooker. As things were, their appearances betrayed there was something different going on, and the keen eye would deduce that there was no form of love between them.

While he searched round the waterside for plants he noticed suddenly there was someone near. He watched the pounce and soon saw the wolf emerge again. He turned narrow features towards the wolf and sat down, just staring as it ate, while Relmyna dutifully waited beside his shoulder.
