Perin would in turn gently refuse, as much as he cared for her, he refused to settle down. In time Prisbella’s urgings were not so gentle, and Perin’s refusals got hotter, until finally Prisbella gave Perin an ultimatum. When he refused once more, she stopped asking. A year later, she married the Miller’s son instead.Since then, Perin has spent nearly all of his time in the woods around Willhaven. And when rumor of dark things and Shadowmaster armies reaches the Waywatchers, he is all too ready to listen and to leave Willhaven to do greater things and prove to himself and all of Willhaven that being a Waywatcher is a worthy occupation.
