Blacktail Deer Plateau aitareya

the man introduces himself as aditya, from morningsong.

a strange feeling curls in rusalka's stomach when aditya informs him he is dutch's father. though unintended as anything other than it was, it reminds rusalka of the poor relationship he held with his own father, kraken; a soft swell of envy for what could've been ( proud, knowing his grandchildren, helping ravensthorpe grow ) but what wasn't and never would be.

i know of them. dutch dropped by to introduce himself ... a few months ago. rusalka isn't sure he has the time frame correct but he's been preoccupied with tending to ravensthorpe, his wife and their newborns.

is there something i can do for morningsong? asks the cairn patriarch.
