Tove goes to her daughter's room, and sighs as it is empty. Not from her little girl being at school or playing with friends, but far from the County and far from her reach. She trusts her brother in law, of course, and Vali is a good man, and her daughter is a fine warrior, yet to see the empty room reminds her that Dagmar is beyond her reach to be if her daughter should need her.

Odin walks up on the edge of the bed, and rrows. Not happy about this either.

The wilder (For now) sits down with a soft grunt, the added weight having destroyed her lap, she must instead stroke the cat from the side, "I miss her too."

And she sings gently, and the cat doesn't seem to mind.

"I pray you'll be my eyes
And watch her where she goes
And help her to be wise
Help me to let go" Tove smooths purrs out of Odin as she sings.

"Every mother's prayer
Every child knows
Lead her to a place
Guide her with your grace
To a place where she'll be safe" But her daughter is going INTO a dangerous place. Still, the prayer is sincere.

"I pray she finds your light
And holds it in her heart
As darkness falls each night
Remind her where you are" Her girl is a good girl, and will be a fine young woman. She's so amazing already.

"Every mother's prayer
Every child knows
Need to find a place
Guide her with your grace
Give her faith so she'll be safe

Lead her to a place
Guide her with your grace
To a place where she'll be safe" And Tove burries herself into Odin's fur.

He endures it. Well, just don't let the dog know.
