[ᅠ𓁹 * 𝓁𝒐𝒓𝒅ᅠ ᵒᶠ ᵗʰᵉ ᅠ𝑹𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 @kingsofdeceit]

he looks to them. humming some, eyes flickered over it. "I see. I am ... sorry for your pain."

[﹙ ♱ ﹚𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒅𝒐𝒘✧𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃 @dcnamcncy]

“ yes .”

he frowns , rubbing a hand over his legs . “ i have lost the capability of walking .”

[ᅠ𓁹 * 𝓁𝒐𝒓𝒅ᅠ ᵒᶠ ᵗʰᵉ ᅠ𝑹𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 @kingsofdeceit]

he looks over him. frowning as he draws a chair closer, sitting across from him.

"so it relieves the pain, then .ᐣ"

“ what —?” glancing at himself .

“ the dynasty ? it is a nation to the east of the ashkeeper mountains in wildemount . it is a follower of the Light , the Luxon .”

⠀
"I have never heard of this ... what is that .ᐣ" his head tilts. curious.

[﹙ ♱ ﹚𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒅𝒐𝒘✧𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃 @dcnamcncy]

a scoff , but he corrects his face .

“ hardly . a scholar of dunamancy , of the kryn dynasty .”

[ᅠ𓁹 * 𝓁𝒐𝒓𝒅ᅠ ᵒᶠ ᵗʰᵉ ᅠ𝑹𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 @kingsofdeceit]

"oh-" that's odd. everyone seems to know of him. that explains a lot.

“ i am … not aware of a Melkor . i am simply here due to some — u fortunate teleporting mishaps .”

a small smile , awkward laugh .

[ᅠ𓁹 * 𝓁𝒐𝒓𝒅ᅠ ᵒᶠ ᵗʰᵉ ᅠ𝑹𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 @kingsofdeceit]

⠀
"sorry I was under the impression you're here to see him. his name is Melkor. usually people wander this far to see him."

[﹙ ♱ ﹚𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒅𝒐𝒘✧𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃 @dcnamcncy]

“ your master ?”

brow furrowing , his head tilts . eyes glance to the wolf . “ i … do not follow .”

[ᅠ𓁹 * 𝓁𝒐𝒓𝒅ᅠ ᵒᶠ ᵗʰᵉ ᅠ𝑹𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 @kingsofdeceit]

"I mean I thought she might pass in the night. but she's getting stronger."

he reaches to pet her. looking Essek over. "has my master not come to greet you, still .ᐣ"

“ what —? goodbye for - for what ? how long ?”

frowning , but keeping his posture . composure .
goodbye … again ? another one ?

[ᅠ𓁹 * 𝓁𝒐𝒓𝒅ᅠ ᵒᶠ ᵗʰᵉ ᅠ𝑹𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 @kingsofdeceit]

he approaches. a pup at his heel suddenly bounding past to greet the giant. "she survived her illness. I thought I would say good-bye."
⠀

[﹙ ♱ ﹚𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒅𝒐𝒘✧𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃 @dcnamcncy]

glancing towards the voice , lilac itself easing .

“ you startled me .”

the miar stands. watching as her chin rests to his shoulder. blank, white eyes somehow softening towards him.

he only flickers, almost like a flame. "she is not gentle. she likes you."
⠀

[﹙ ♱ ﹚𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒅𝒐𝒘✧𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃 @dcnamcncy]

a brief moment of tension , before the familiar wolf’s visage registers in essek’s mind .

he turns , a hand up to caress the muzzle . “ hello there .”

[ᅠ𓁹 * 𝓁𝒐𝒓𝒅ᅠ ᵒᶠ ᵗʰᵉ ᅠ𝑹𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 @kingsofdeceit]

a wolf, black. the one that @dcnamcncy had helped ease tbe pain of approaches the elf. her nose slips over his shoulder. as gigantic as she is.
