passing down knowledge

Roan was a rough and tumble kind of wolf, he didn’t have much room in his life for titles or formalities. However, he wanted to show what respect he could to the older woman who was both more experienced than he was and also the mother of the she wolf he wanted to make his wife. Resin silently agreed to his first request, nodding silently. The second request was given the same reaction but it was the third item that made Resin speak.

He wasn’t ready for a fight over the prospective marriage, and he wasn’t asking permission either. Iolaire was a grown wolf who would make her own decisions, he just wanted to get her mother’s blessing. There was no stopping him, as long as he came home. It was Roan’s turn to nod as Resin explained that Io was her last child, he knew. The two of them bonded over the loss of their siblings. Her voice was serious, and he knew the implications even if she didn’t give him and standard threats. He would die before he hurt his tiny healer.

”She’s my whole world, Resin.” These words were nowhere near as practiced. ”I wont break my vow.” He promised as Resin readied herself. However much Roan felt confident in his abilities beforehand he wasn’t as much now after his recovery. ”Before we get physical,” he mirrored her movements anyway, ”Tell me how you plan a bear fight.” His words were a request more than a command.
