[song_princess]

I keep seeing these weird shapes everywhere and people are either celebrating the shape or behaving like nestlings. What are they or what are they trying to mimic? Is this a normal festival?

[She was curious about many things but this one was the thing she was the most curious about.]

Ah... This one is known as Leanne... My apologies for not introducing myself sooner.

Comments

[faeshim]

Lots of sweats. Some meat stuff too. I didn't try any of it.

What's bad about crowds?

[song_princess]

Sweets?

[She does have a little bit of a sweet tooth.]

Ah, I can't eat meat so that probably removes a lot of the offerings.

[At his question, she goes quiet for a moment before switching it to video, flaring her wings.]

They can be quite sensitive.

[faeshim]

[he's about to say something when she switches to video. and that changes everything.]

You have wings!

[yes, she knew that already. forgive him, daeshim is a creature of mud and forest, he's fascinated (and slightly envious) of wings.]

Are you fae?

[song_princess]

[His reaction does cause her to giggle.]

Aye, that I do.

[She is also a creature of forest but then he calls her something and she gains a worried expression.]

What's a fae?

[faeshim]

Me.

[it seems a perfectly good explanation to him...but maybe it needs more.]

Old blood, from before humans. From forests and rivers and stones. Sometimes have wings, sometimes don't. I don't.

[song_princess]

So fae are those with an older bloodline in them?

[She thinks she gets it but then he mentions coming from a forest and she perks up quite a bit.]

You also come from a forest? What was yours like?... if I may be so bold to ask.

How saddening that you do not have wings, Daeshim. My apologies about the lost of joy they could have given you.

[faeshim]

It was...it's beautiful now, with so much green and new life in the Spring. Wasn't always. Was dark and scary, and no one would come near.

[daeshim made it that way. on purpose.]

[song_princess]

Was it dead when it was dark and scary?

[She was picking up on that but didn't want to pry too much.]

What made it change?

[faeshim]

Yeah, it was. Nothing would bloom. Nothing was born.

Someone came there. Someones, actually.

[song_princess]

.....

[She frowns and idly holds her wings closer to herself.]

Then what happened, if I may be so bold to ask l?

[faeshim]

Before? Or after?

[song_princess]

After.... But only if it isn't too much of a burden for you.

[faeshim]

It's not. After is the happier part.

I brought Baein to the forest, and Jasper followed. That's when things started changing. Brightning. Blooming.

[song_princess]

That brings my heart happiness to hear.

What type of blooms? It sounds like you and the others revived the forest, can all fae do that?
