Deepwood Weald What the Night King wants

While it was not unwanted, Aries' appearance couldn't have been more coincidental. Aries Damien's eyes found him approaching, and with a silent nod, he welcomed the young soldier to join him in his routinary patrol. By now, the young Svartell would have realized that the night king was a man of few words, and those he used were always calculated and quite cold if you didn't know the man buried within the ice shard that was his demeanor. But why was Damien so preoccupied with his communication patterns all of a sudden? It got him thinking and, after a few moments of silent walking Damien realized that he had literally never spent a minute alone with Nyx's young ward. Strange, how one could just take things for granted without even realizing it.

Before he knew it, Damien had realized that he needed to fix a relationship he hadn't know was broken for so long, especially when Aries was perhaps the most reasonable choice the night King had to appoint as his Lieutenant.

How do you like the Weald, Aries? he asked after realizing how bad the situation was. They really had nothing to talk about yet, so going back to the good old ice-breakers (for as bad as he was at them) was his only choice.
