Blackfeather Woods Insight IV

Eldritch, he parroted, looking up as though mentally storing the name for later use. She had a pleasant smile that she held there, and he found it infectious despite the dull pain lurking in his neck. He wondered briefly what had brought her here, to this dark place full of tree-worshipping zealots. Had she been an outcast too?
She asked then about a word he had heard before. The "Daedra" were something of a mystery to Taikon. He knew only the vague information about the sacred tree, and remembered bits and pieces from things Rowan had said when Zephyr had been seizing. He sighed, shaking his head. There's not much I can tell, to be honest, he admitted. Normally, he was interested in learning about beliefs others held, even though he himself led a secular life. I was told not to go near the tree in the centre of the Woods, as it causes visions, he said, looking away from her in the direction the tree was. I've seen people get sick from it. I know they use it for some kind of initiation or something, Taikon offered, shaking his head again. To be honest, the lack of information was rather infuriating, though he had never sought intentionally to garner it.
He was tempted to tell her that he was just here because that was what made sense right now. Takiyok wanted to have children, and they needed the protection and support of the pack. Taikon had never had any interest in joining another pack, yet there he was. Things had just worked out that way. Zephyr had ensured it.
