He gave the northern woman a look. It would be a soft nudge if a look could have such a form.
Patrolling wasn't much of an answer. No, he could smell her worry, see it pressing on her body, weighing her shoulders.
He was about to push when she spoke, so he shut his trap and let her explain.
Easthollow...Minnow! It was her family who'd lived there!
But...he didn't want her to leave. And she said they'd all gone anyway, so he saw no point in telling her, taking her.
Minnow would stay here.

"And you didn't go with him?" Perhaps to assure him and Zeph that they weren't up and leaving all of a sudden. Maybe something else. She seemed well enough.
"I'm sure he will return safely. The Daedra will bring him back," he didn't know if she believed, or if Taikon did at all. Though Rowan did, and he'd leave an offering to Sithis in return for Taikon. He might need something more than a rabbit for that.

He drifted closer, letting their fur touch, but not enough for a larger nudge. He didn't know what she'd make of it. But he offered her a warm smile.
