Blackfeather Woods your beauty makes them weak

the dark priestess speaks of the melonii's ...and that they must be reunited. it doesn't take wintersbane long to realize that she speaks of vaati and damien. the two dark masters that have been mysteriously missing from blackfeather woods since his return. wintersbane is glad that vaati is gone — though the likelihood of being recognized is extremely slim to none the tundrian doesn't care for the silver and sand clad boy and it'd been fairly mutual last time they'd been in one another's presence and damien ...well he hadn't known the man well enough to form much of an opinion on him. he thinks the woods is better off without them but he didn't dare say this out loud to relmyna who appeared to house a very different opinion.

what if it does? it seems to be doing alright at present, wintersbane questions and points out his deduction. he doesn't understand what's so special about that family that everyone thinks that this place will perish without them. it's current state ( growing and relatively peaceful ) is a testament to kove and relmyna's own success with the place. and if they don't want to return? he inquires next, mostly out of curiosity. is this what the gods tell her? that there is no other family line worthy? is there no other family capable or worthy of the magick of this place? of leading? the tundrian puts voice to his inner question, unsure if he was asking relmyna or mephala. that seemed like a waste of potential to him, placing all of their cards in one family and one family alone.

i apologize if that's forward or out of line. the gamma seeks understanding but he realizes that perhaps he should seek it without so much questioning of the daedra. especially as they've been so good to him. forgiving. blessing him with sight of them. he diverts his gaze from her for a moment, as if he waits to feel the sting of anger from some unseen force. if the gods are upset that he questions he does not feel it and thus looks back to her once more. what should we sacrifice? wintersbane zeroes in on her suggestion, eager to soothe any upset he might've caused, eager to appease and comply to sithis, mephala and relmyna's wishes.
