    The healer smiled softly. There is a gentle flutter of her feathers beneath the robe. A nod. "I believe you have it in you to be a knight." She paused. "Why don't we find you a place to rest for the night? We can then perhaps start with foraging tomorrow, when the wagons come to a halt."

    The healer rubbed her hands together as she thought about it. A careful pause, as if planning the next steps of a dance or the next verse to a poem. Her words picked very carefully, as if to achieve a certain result. "I learned it from my sister. Who in turn, learned it from my mother. It was...

    Private Nothing good happens quietly

    Hard indeed. A challenge for others, was a blessing for some. It meant- that someone would know if things were okay. If things were alright. And it built habit, and structure. Practice, watching- a great place to learn, and experience. Now- if Vyn was home, they probably could hear the soft...

    Dove smirked, her lips twisted into a knowing, delightful curve that hid secrets within them. Her eyes glittered with passion, excited and enthusiastic to share what years of practice and the kind hands of her mother and sister had taught her. She tilted her head gently. "That, is a special...

    Dove glanced away at the mention of visiting Kirschen one day. "I imagine Kirschen would welcome you with open arms, and you will find comfort in what it can offer you." The words are chosen carefully. Not given room to question. Something dark covered her brown gaze, and she twisted her head...

    Private The Bear and the Dove

    Ah. There seems to be a very understanding, knowing nod. She too was once a young bird who fantasized a bit about what it would be like to be in the throes of love. There seems to be a solemn glance that she casts to the side, perhaps lamenting the loss of something she once guarded so dear...

    As the embrace continues, and Dove gently sways, her wings start to slowly come to a halt, gently withdrawing them back to her body. Her face nuzzles into Vyn's shoulder, her hands sliding up Vyn's back to pull her tighter. Not like it was that much of a success- but, you know, she tried. She...

    Private The Bear and the Dove

    Dove's face corkscrews a bit, and turns to Arbok. Didn't she just explain the nature of platonic love and how it exists? A frown, before she continued. "I didn't 'smooch' Roki. That.. would be certainly unwise for a variety of reasons. It's just, it seems the version of Roki you know was a lot...

    Private The Bear and the Dove

    "Really? He didn't seem so.." Ah yes. The part where Dove now accidentally ruined Roki's home life because she was not aware of social dynamics. "Roki seemed rather quiet, and reserved. He seemed to prefer to listen, and responded rather humbly to my requests." she explained, pointing a finger...

    Vyn didn't quite know what she did for the little dove right then. Didn't know about her dead dreams, or her subconscious desire to have her own nest home. Didn't know how she genuinely thought that her little idea was something that was fully realizable. Didn't realize that she never imagined...

    She beams at the praise, watching Vyn process the treats and enjoy them, giggling a bit when she mentioned she was getting poisoned by love and berries. It sounded like a gentle choir of windchimes, caught by a summer wind. Her eyes lit up with warmth, and her shoulders sank, as if a soothing...

    Responsive, and quick, Dove quickly removed the food, and clasped one of Vyn's hands, holding it tight. She dare not touch the essence of Vyn, not without her consent- but the care and compassion the bird was capable of sat in her hand, a warm aura of affection. Waiting to spread. "I.. I do-...

    Dove thought carefully. There is a hesitation in her voice. A pause. Her brown eyes flicker to her, contemplating in thought. Searching Vyn, as if it's trying to find some knife- some sort of way to hurt her. The scan holds the air for a moment, before something softer fills them. Something...

    ".. that doesn't exactly answer my question." she points a finger at Vyn. Like she knew the entire depths of Elum lore? There is a frown, it's mixed with frustration, but also a lower level of understanding. It didn't scream antagonism at Vyn, rather at herself, for the lack of knowledge she...

    Dove frowned. "And, how would you know?" she blinked. There is a pause. Sensitive to the twisted corner of Vyn's gaze. It silences her to a peep. "... W.. Well. I mean- perhaps we should.. do something better then. The sun is getting close to the horizon." she trailed. "I did pay Jem well in...

    She held a bated breath, at Vyn- when the hand moved towards her, keeping her gaze away to avoid drawing attention to it. Relief seeped when Vyn restrained herself. Her eyes mixed with disappointment and a sigh. ".. Maybe- I should hold that information back. Blue is a good color for you. I...

    "..." She looked at Arbok confused. "What would he need to be embarrassed about? He was just a squire doing his duties. Admirable if anything." A casual shrug. "There are quite a few things I cannot do. For an example- as you noted, I cannot fly." she chuckled. "My wings are too small for it."...

    Dove smiled. "Oh, he is okay. I know that initially, he was bothered by the events.." Dove trailed, but her eyes had a light optimism. "But, I am a healer, not just in the body, but in the mind as well. We sat down together, and we had breakfast. We talked a bit about the.. events. I also sang...

    "N.. no. Not.. unless you want me to. But if that was the case- I would probably take a different approach." the bird squeaked, the anxiety dying, slowing being reborn into little sparks of hope. Flickering embers of optimism. It danced in her eyes as she turned her head to look at Vyn- a little...

    Anxiety clawed at her, as it did. The problem with being isolated in the fashions that she did, is that she never learned ways to sustain outside of the elements that kept her alive- which right now, was the wagon. Most people would've left. Dove- however, couldn't. She didn't know how. And...
