. I

To Ivarstead

Ah, I could see in her expression that she was fond of the idea of travel. I felt bad for snickering at the face she made at my rude comeback but an eye for an eye,
Ingrid huffed and brushed it off to return to the topic of leaving Whiterun, "lucky, you love and grow up in these walls and you don't even realize what's outside them".
Ivanna just smiled idly and picked up her two youngest children- twin boys with messy Brown hair and brown eyes "hush boys, we have a guest"
She sighed
"Igrid the outside world is far from friendly, you know this"

"Would you like to join me?" I suddenly spoke up, looking at Igrid with direct eye contact
"To Ivarstead?"
"What?- no" Ivanna suddenly gasped
"Yes-" Igrid nodded
"Igrid no,"
"Mum please, you even said it yourself- I have no friends, this
Could be a good chance to make a forever pal"
She smiled
And stood besides me as she Gave her mother the forsaken puppy dog eyes to
Plead her way out of these walls,
"It would be a good chance for her and I to
Make an alliance, plus traveling on my own would be dangerous, but two of us together would be safer" I brought to her attention and Igrid nodded in agreement, Ivanna frowned and looked at her boys who were poking at each other and then at Igrid and I.
"...alright.. Igrid pack a satchel of necessities and your father's dagger for safety. I trust the two of you will be /responsible/. Right?"

"Very much so"
Igrid and I said in sync,
exchanged glances- and then chuckled,
I sat down at their table and chatted with Ivanna for a good while whilst Igrid took an eternity to pack a small
Simplistic satchel, Talos guide her.
When she was ready she hugged her mother and brothers farewell and aided me to stand, as Ivanna walked us out of Whiterun, and nearing the outside meadery on the outskirts of Whiterun's property

"Remember be safe, don't talk to strangers and don't travel at night. Please"
A mother's worry was the most powerful love you could think of,
I gave a wave and thanked her once more while Igrid gave her a final
Hug farewell. "We'll be back in five days time"
I told Ivanna and started my journey with Igrid by my side,
"So why are we going to
Ivarstead" Igrid asked once more, " The reason is personal, but in honesty I know not why" I told her, eyes forward on the road as I raised my hands and began
To focus directly on the streams that flowed with blood throughout my arms feeling the soul I carry travel through each singular vein to the palms of my hands,
And focused,
To focus on the rebuilding of my injury, the puncture in stomach and the pierced vessels that had yet to be healed, I focused solely on that area and focused my blood stream to that targeted area

And watched as my palms illuminated in a heavenly gold that circled my hands in an extravagant aura and breathed out calmly when I no longer felt a throb,
Finally.
I could stand up straight and had enough strength to to walk on my own, but felt drained only several seconds of using the spell,
The book spoke of Magicka, the energy throughout the body that entitled a wizard to using spells must have been low after my single use- geez, I suppose I need to work on that in the future.
I looked at Igrid who was staring at me as if I were Talos,
I could tell she thought of me as a higher authority after seeing that- it was rather funny.
"How'd you do that?" She asked with wide eyes curious to what she just saw

I returned her question with a small smile
"I'll teach you along the way"
