Swiftcurrent Creek Get on my shoulders, and I'll carry you all of the way

Dad does not suck and can take however long dad needs to reply! ❤

Helios absorbs the information akin to a sponge, soaking up his father's soothing voice while doing his best to ignore the harsh claps of thunder and lightning right outside their doorstep. There is much for him to learn, but despite his frustration and confusion, he slowly grasps what Kavik is patiently teaching him.

Op-po-sit, he repeats. If opposite means the meanings are different... What is op-po-sit of op-po-sit? It seems confusing for the young raven to comprehend, but he has the tendency to repeat words he likes the sound of. Opposite has this strange "pop" to it that makes it fun, in a way.

Storm and rain, op-po-sit? He wants to know the difference between them, and that is what is frustrating Helios. While he does not know the weight of Kavik's vow now, perhaps in time he will and come to appreciate how kind his father is.
