wooo timelinessss

Taikon didn't know what was supposed to happen now. He hadn't heard any of the recent news, and after talking with Takiyok was feeling extremely torn. His knowledge didn't seem to help much at all, for they were still on the brink of a war that he was not willing to fight.
Takiyok was equally concerned, but the pull to protect her son (her grown ass adult, decision-making son) was powerful. Taikon worried that she would readily follow Stag into battle just for the sake of having a shot at saving him. These were decisions that were messy and nonsensical to the prince of nothing, who found the entire debacle irresponsible on the part of his leaders.
Whatever line he was walking was thin indeed. He needed time to think. Laying out in the open beneath a tree near the alpine outlook he'd left Taki at, he felt like he had fewer answers than before. When Mahler found him there, Taikon rose quickly to greet him, dipping his head respectfully. His gut rumbled, fearing that Mahler knew something he did not.
