Duskfire Glacier at the edge of the world

though wintersbane was a man who stood by his decisions — regardless of what path they may take him down — there is a small tic of awkwardness that lingers in the uncertainty of his answer. it hadn't been a no but it hadn't been a yes, either; and he did not admit that he was gunshy at sharing his presumed role with another. especially after the last time he had; how the foundations of ironclan had wound up altered to fit her wants. of course, it had been expected: his trip had been long. but even so...

he tucks those thoughts away; packing them neatly away so they do not sneak out to bother him and cloud his choice the next time he was facing this particular conversation.

well, wintersbane responds; wishing his response didn't sound so ...plain. my leg feels like it's mending. soon, he thinks ( hopes! ), it would be yet another scar to add to his ever growing collection.
