The words she shared with him made sense, but they troubled him in a way that he was not certain how he might address. She spoke of her home as though she had already made up her mind. Issorartuyok had no intention of changing her will, but he did not wish for her to believe that a place had anything to do with where a home was. At least, not when it mattered the most.

Heda, you would be welcome in my village. I would be proud and pleased to have you, know this.

The northerner nodded his head to her gently. The words he offered were genuine, filled with warmth and knowing for her situation. He could not help but wonder if she would miss her family after time had settled her choice. Issorartuyok did not want for her to feel such heartache.

A home can be made anywhere. What matters is who you build it with, yes? It felt important to him that she understood this.
