Sawtooth Spire As easy as rolling off a log

a frown tugs at the edges of wintersbane's lips as quellcrist calls herself the 'oops'. he doesn't agree with that statement even if it's the nature of how she was born. ❝no. there is no internal screaming,❞ he repeats the words with some of that 'dad trying to get with the lingo' slowness, as if he's not quite sure what he's said but it sounded right. to clarify he says, ❝you may have been unexpected q, but all the best things in my life have been unexpected.❞ and that was the honest gods' truth.

❝i'm glad you're here and i'm glad you're giving me a chance to be your father.❞ wintersbane seeks to assure her. ❝you're my daughter and there's nothing and no one who can change that.❞ and then adds. ❝i could never regret you.❞ if wintersbane harbors any regrets ( he tries not to ) it was the fact that she'd came about in a reckless way instead of via a stable relationship; but after relmyna died he hadn't sought anything of the sort and there was no going back and changing anything with elixir. it was done and the most important thing to take away from all of it was that quellcrist was here.
