Firestone Hot Springs You eat us up

When he discloses his low spoken information to her, he can see the subtle shift in her eyes. She tells him that bad spirits come to them when taboos are broken. These words mean little to him, but only because he does not quite catch their meaning. So he looks at her with subtle questioning in dark, fiery orbs.

What does it mean?

And she tells him soon after,

there are three marks of taboo. She begins. tirigusuusiit. a thing to avoid. maligait. a thing to follow. and piqujait. a thing to do.

He faces towards her, auds cupped forward — he listens intently. His eyes look young in his attempt to understand. When she’s done, his head tilts down a fraction in a nod for her to continue. She does and he listens, all the while wondering if what she says is true. If doing what she tells him to do will help him. Will Banesteppe disappear? Will he vanish with the wind, never to hear his conniving voice again? 

He would finally be free. Free of the shackles Banesteppe has put on him. Free to do as he pleases, but the entity has become such a relevant piece of Alduin’s life. Would he be able to live without him? Banesteppe likes to make him think he can’t, but he’s sure that he’d be able to adjust.

He’d be alone, but is being alone so bad?

So Alduin’s eye strain away from her own in thought, shifting to the clear night sky. He nods once more before looking back to her. 

“If it frees me, then it is a quest I will take.” He hums out huskily.

He’d move to walk a few paces away before looking back to her. “Is your pack still residing in the spine?” He asks, before he leaves.
