Plague didn't really know if what he was trying to say came across the way he wanted it to. He wasn't exactly well versed in pep talks, but it was a lesson that he had taken a long time to learn so he hoped little Ike would take it to heart faster than he had. He had gotten hung up in believing that he wasn't as skilled as his sisters in pretty much any area for the longest time and that had held him back from seeing his own strengths. It had taken most of his life thus far to find his own confidence and he only ever wanted this young girl to see herself for how beautiful and strong she could be. He wanted that for all of his nieces and nephews - he hoped they all grew to be proud of themselves and the family they were born into... even if he sometimes had his doubts. He grinned when she asked if he liked to wrestle and he nodded in agreement. "I do. It's one of my favorite things." He'd found a love for crafting in the last year or so and he tolerated hunting out of necessity, but healing was a lost cause with him. Fighting had always been his first passion and was the area where he felt the most confident in his skills. He never wanted to think that he had mastered it so that he never stopped trying to improve, but he could at least walk into any fight and feel like he was prepared to face it. "If you'd like I can teach you some things when you're a little bigger," he promised, grinning a little and chuckling as he added, "And when it's not so cold outside." This was certainly not the kind of weather that was very inviting for anything that involved being out in the elements. |
