I hold you in like a deep breath

Torleik glanced at the livewire traveling with them when she snapped, asking him what the fuck he'd said. Such language, from such a tiny body. Shameful, really - but then again, Ophelia had dropped several hints she hadn't been an exceptional mother to this demi-god. Who would be, to a product of rape? At first, at least. Torleik's chest ached as his thoughts wandered to the twins birthed by Brisa and how he'd been ready to try his hardest to be a good father...

The feeling was like nothing else in the world, that fear and crushing hope all at once, that maybe you can atone for your sins and make this new life a better one than yours. That had been ripped from him in a manner he could only assume Ophelia had some intimate knowledge of. But in the end, at least the child had been hers.

He'd just been duped. Like a fucking fool. That was worth language over.

Though to be honest, if Roskuld kept up this immature, idiotic act, Torleik had a mind to bring down her world by letting her know that he was aware of exactly who she was. But she seemed to settle down a little and said thank you, so the Bloodskald set aside his weapon of knowledge for now. The trip to the Basin didn't take long at all, and as they passed through the Sentinels, he wondered if Roskuld felt any special connection to this place, given it was her father's chosen herdland. And so the thoughts began rattling around his head. Why did the God of Time want her here? To see Ophelia? Or had his order come before Phi was named Lady of the Basin? (That blatant display of favoritism still clawed at his breast with a sticky, hot, jealous hate.)

Was it simply because it was his herland and his daughter should know it? Be in it?

No answers, he knew, would be very forthcoming from this compact ball of impotent rage. For the time being, Torleik let it go.

"Welcome to the Basin."
