Northstar Vale in the end we are reduced to saying it seemed like a good idea at the time

I hope you had a great holiday. <3

Come in. Let us find some place to talk… somewhere for you to rest for a while.

Arsenio motioned for the pale man to follow him into the vale. He knew of a place where they could hunker down beneath the trees, away from the snow. It would give them solitude to speak. The redstone wolf was not certain how long Kallik wished to stay. He imagined that the other man was worried for his son. Nanuq had been quiet, secluded. Arsenio had not wanted to push the boy. He thought that the young one would need space.

I think he is hurting. I think he is looking for peace the only way he knows how.

The mercenary frowned softly to his friend.

I believe he misses his family. Honestly spoken, but it was not pointed at Kallik or his absence. Bad things happened to good souls all the time. It was fortunate that the soldier’s sons were safe, even if they were not home.
