The quiet has always been disconcerting to Jakub. Nothing good had ever come from resting in a place between unrest and peace. Beqanna had sat stagnant for to long and he had been right to question it. Something had been brewing in the changing seasons. An untamed part of Jakub had grown restless as of late, trailing borders and testing boundaries of his traits. Preparations for a break in that unpredictable quietness.
Jakub's eyes watched as Leli poured her magic into Tephra pulling from it a child's play toy. A distraction for young Meraki, an innocent creation to keep innocent minds away from pressing matters. He found himself impressed, even though by now he should be used to her abilities. His fondness did not detract from the matter at hand however and he stood guarded, features hard as stone as he listened.
His eyes darted to Leliana for only a moment as Wolfbane trudged up the past, a wayward muscle constricting his jaw. Memories noone wanted to repeat. He could see the Taiga commandant struggle through his speech. An uncomfortable feeling of understanding flickered across Jakub's eyes. Wolfbane's promises spilled out onto the table infront of him in all his vulnerability. Of all his promises the one he made to Aten struck the heaviest, a promise he too would keep for his dear friend.
Jakub did not know what had happened in Nerine, but he could see the pleading request of Wolfbane's with perfect clarity. His eyes shifted to Vulgaris as Wolfbane ended. His loyalty to Loess an echoing oath amongst the quiet garden. It took all of Jakub's willpower to stand ideally by and let Vulgaris make decisions that could potentially hold the future of Beqanna, and more importantly Tephra, within them.
