Murdock dipped his head in affirmation at Thor’s question; thanks to his new friend, he had come across unexpected enthusiasm and determination to better his life. Not that it was exactly in a poor state now, but he could do better, couldn’t he? He faced each day with gratitude for the daylight and excitement for what he might be able to accomplish before night fell. Perhaps with enough hard work, his efforts would pay off and he would be rewarded with a higher title, something that would prove his dedication and devotion to his new home in the Edge. He did not return the question to Thor, however, as he answered unspoken words with news of an infection that had consumed what at one time had been his wings. The Protector eyed them sympathetically, pitying his companion though he wondered whether the dwarfed appendages were more of a burden than a gift. Murdock knew that if he was in such a situation, he would be devastated. He would be lost without the ability to fly, without the freedom to play among the clouds and watch the sunset from a thousand feet up. He turned away without another word, a last sympathetic glance settling upon Thor before he directed his attention down the snowy path toward the sea. From here, you could not hear the playful waves crashing against the cliffs or the roar of the water swelling against the rocks; the trees muted the ocean’s song yet the faint scent of salt lingered in the cold air. He admired the frosted branches and snowy canopy as he led the tree-mare and the former King deeper into their lands, rambling off enthusiastically about the ranks available to the newcomer as he picked his way down the snowy trail. He smiled brightly as she expressed interest in becoming a philosopher. It was something he had often dreamed of doing, if he hadn’t been primed for battle since birth and if he had the sort of attention span required to perform any sort of research. Such a position would suit her perfectly, though. “Then a philosopher you shall be!” He responded cheerily, offering a grin over his shoulder. She would most certainly be a beneficial addition to the family, and he certainly hoped their paths would cross often. "talk talk talk" maybe i like
