Iorek's Links
Iorek thinks of Mercy as his own daughter, and cherishes whatever time she chooses to spend with him. Nothing is too demanding.
He enjoys teaching her about the world, but chooses to sugar coat some of the less desirable facts of life.
Mercy loves her uncle! Piggy back rides and funny conversations are the highlights of most of the time she's spend around him after all. Even as she begins training as a medic she always looks forward to seeing Uncle Iorek on occassion. Although her brothers disappearance has her very upset. Maybe uncle could help?
Iorek dearly misses his nephew, but knows that the boy had no choice but to leave. The rift it caused meant that Iorek lost all respect for his own brother for treating his child that way.
While he would love to see Merlinus back with the clan, he knows it's probably best he live his own life for now.
He cares about his uncle and has fond memories of him. Although it got harder to see him when his father started to push him away from the rest of the family. When he left the Tarandus clan he didn't really have a chance to send word to him or even to say goodbye to Mercy- so he has no idea what he must think of him now.
