"N'wah n'wah n'wah n'wah." Litcelmo babbled as he toddled about the room he and his father shared, pudgy little arms holding up his stuffed bear. With his hands, he moves the bear's arms about, making spittlely sword noises. "N'wah n'wah n'wah!" the little Altmer let out a peal of laughter-- the new word he'd learned while wandering the Keep was funny to say. (celmo no)
Ondolemar could not be completely sure what his young son was saying at first, and when he was, he wasn't completely sure how to handle it. His first instinct was to snap at the child not to say that, but what would that accomplish? It would embarrass Litcelmo, and make Ondolemar out to be the bad guy, and he had his fill of that.
He leaned out of his chair, where he was stationed at his desk, and grabbed the boy around the waist and pulled him onto one knee. "Celmo, I want to know where you learned that word--and if you don't tell me the truth, I might have to tickle you," the commander said solemnly.
No doubt the Dragonborn had taught him--for some reason, the Dunmer adored Litcelmo.
