Blackfeather Woods the brewing storm

You can go ahead and wrap this up ♥

The way her shoulder sank was caught immediately by the aging male, her disappointment clear. Someday, he would make sure that she learned of everything that she must know in order to become the Priestess that she was destined to be, but not now. Those days would come eventually, after the war and they have all settled once more; he did not speak in response to her reaction, not a sound leaving his mouth until the subject was changed—a change that brought a smile to his own lips, her eagerness contagious. “We will teach and learn together, then,” he decided. That Miraak was teaching her came as no surprise, yet the news was something he was glad to hear; all that could teach her should do so, he felt, so that she might be guided towards the greatest version of herself—for this reason, he wished to keep her away from his daughter, whose mind had been altered greatly, he felt, by the past disorder of the woods.

As she refused him, he frowned, though the expression was quick to soften just moments later. “There may come a day that you have to,” he stated. “I will be there to help you through the journey, you don’t have to worry. The lands beyond these woods… they are not as bad as some of those here make them out to be.” Just as the shadows were not as bad as those on the outside believed—it was all a matter of perspective. “If we ever have to leave, I will take you to the north.” There, she would be able to live as a child should, without worries or fears of what beasts might be lurking around the corner, waiting to take a life.

With a slow shake of his head, he made his dismissal of the topic apparent, giving her time to think instead of piling on more problems. “But you don’t need to worry about any of that now,” the Inuk voiced, turning whilst using his muzzle to motion for her to follow. “Let’s walk and you can clear your head.” Should she follow, Kove would begin moving at a pace slow enough for her to keep up with, with ease; he would remain silent unless addressed, giving her time to think on her own.
