King Elk Forest Say what’s on your mind so I get the message

He isn’t expecting a visit from his dear sister so soon. When her voice hits his ears his coingold orbs swipe to put her in his sights. 

You couldn’t have died?

Well, that’s not a nice welcome. He almost rolls his eyes at her. “Dear sister, I wish not to quarrel, but if you want it so bad I might just give it to you.” He says quietly, his voice is easy, calm.

On the subject of no sign from the high elk has Eadwulf already questioning what is happening here. Going back to Célnes, he speaks to her now. “I will trust our kings judgment — now and forever — until you veer from the path of holiness.” He says confidently. Claiming loyalty to his new king, regardless of what his loving sister says.
