Hushed Willows and never for a minute did he believe he could escape

ingram. given to him by the engram of wanlida lingering in her reincarnated soul ...or perhaps misunderstood by him as she pines, restlessly; for her lost love. regardless, it is him now. better than the name given to him by his mother despite that war reaper had fit him well.

the older man speaks and ingram focuses his attention outward, tuning out his thoughts.

it was a lot of questions, that felt like thieves' fingers trying to pry. the keeper is what he is: the keeper and will take his job as iron guardian of the blackwater druids to his grave. their protection came first; always.

i am happier. an answer; truthful but so very far from detailed. he never was a beast for bearing his soul ( expect to trikova ). sometimes, ingram knows, saying little is best. 'happier' was a broad enough umbrella to answer the questions given to him and simple enough not to invite further interrogation.
