Moonspear the dwarven forge

Nikai frowned as he heard about the news of Leta getting attacked. He hadn't known that had happened; it must've happened after he and Alya had left. Attacked? he asked with bated breath while Alya explained the rest of the situation. He looked away, frowning, and then looked back at Alya as he said, I'm glad she's well. I'm glad it ended well. Nikai felt very strongly that he should've been there, he should've stayed back home, but right now there was nothing he could do about it. And it had all turned out well enough. He supposed it was a good thing that Valette had Greyback now, to help protect them.

Things have been quiet here, Nikai said. Hydra's been trying to teach me some moves. She doesn't seem to understand that fighting isn't my strength and I'd rather focus on things I'm actually good at. She thinks I should practise because of my disabilities, but I believe there's a lot more I can bring to the pack than bad fighting. He wondered what Alya thought about her sister's incessant desires for Nikai learning to fight well. Did she agree? Nikai looked at her inquiringly, hoping she'd speak her mind.
