Ouroboros Spine BWP: TSS Chittering, chattering bugs, ugh

Heph considered, it was an innocent question. While a part of her wished to simply lie the greater knew that there were gentler ways to introduce the truth which would serve this wolf well as she grew and potentially did meet less savory characters. She thought of Alduin, brutal and violent to pursue selfish ends. And she thought about how Void had described himself before, a brand of naivety all on its own, that nonetheless did nothing to shield others from potential harm. And she considered Dreven who had treated Atka well and come to tolerate her as well, rough around the edges but willing to stick to his word and protect others. "Hmmm not so many, but there are a few." She gave a comforting lap of her tongue against the younger wolf's crown. "But more often there's wolves who are a little bit rough around the edges or they sometimes make mistakes, they're not mean wolves but they can do mean things."

Heph grinned at the enthusiasm, glad to have something to offer. Maybe she would have to seek out Shikoba after all and see if the wolf would allow the journey at some later date. "Well then I'll have to come back and we can ask your mama. Mojag is sometimes off investigating but I'm sure Rodyn and your nieces and nephews will be very cute. The sea can be dangerous but as long as you are careful it is nice to explore, the sand is too."

Nodding her head she tilted her head down. "It's okay to be afraid, as you grow bigger and if you work next to your friends and family it may feel less scary and you'll get better as you practice. But even if you never like hunting that's not all there is to do. I'm sure if you talked to your mama she'd understand, like when she understood your brother Mojag wanted to go to the sea."
