“Would you mind?” Her voice, soft and melodic, barely carried across the meadow on the breeze. One of the petal sprites lingering nearby fluttered their butterfly-like wings, ascending to accept the wooden bead from her fingers to carry further up her in-progress braid. “Thank you.”

[thecrowranger]

“Who knows? You might get the chance someday. The world is an awfully big place, after all. And until then, you might just discover something around here you never knew about. Life is full of surprises like that.”

Keir hopped around from one branch to another. Being in raven form was vastly different from his normal form. Everything felt more simple, and he could be aware of so many more things. Plus, he enjoyed seeing other birds confusion when they saw him, never truly knowing what he was but knowing something was off about him.

@blxckworn -- for Mallory:

"Come back here--” Borra was silent much of the time. He could land like a breath of wind when he wanted to; shift without even disturbing the earth. Suren, in mud up to her thighs, sloshed through one of the swampy creeks after the wallerbog who casually walked off with an adornment from her half-repaired armor, rustling reeds and making an unusual commotion. Big fey don’t usually end up in this leg of the water -- let alone desert fey. “Alright.” She paused, the cold and cloying muck growing unbearable. “You’ve left me no choice.” Like the arm of a mother, a branch swept out of the ground to catch the chubby little amphibian with moth-like antennae. It was an unfair advantage on the larger fey’s part, but oh so necessary.

[thecrowranger]

“Oh, I see.” She nodded in understanding. “I’ve seen a couple of dark fey here and there, but the only one I’ve chatted with is one who calls herself Virgie. She’s nice, though it seems like she has a wounded spirit. It’s hard to explain. Anyway, I think you’re all very beautiful.”

Angwu smiled over at him and nodded. “My animal spirit is a crow, so I can understand many birds. Being that you’re a raven, I can understand you very well. Close kin and all that, I suppose. Not all birds want to talk like you, though.”

She was covered in flowers underneath the tree below him. Often she looked up when she heard the birds in the trees. Having a crow for an animal spirit meant that she could understand the birds more often than not. She could do a lot of interesting things, having that, though having the spirit of a bird wasn’t quite the same as being one.

On that particular day, she thought she sensed something familiar.Not a crow, but a raven. They were different of course, crows and ravens, but Angwu could sense the kinship just the same. She’s just going to look up, smile, and call, “Hello there.”

“Having an animal spirit is more of a partnership though,” she mused conversationally. “You have to learn to work with each other. Sometimes the animal spirit can take more control than one might like. I’ve never had that problem, but then I spend a lot of my time in the forest and flying about as I can, so maybe mine is happy.”

“Oh, books are wonderful. Some might argue that they aren’t the same as experiencing things themselves, but a good book can take you places you’ve never seen before, and the stories they can tell ought to be treasured, I think. But then I’ve always been one for stories.”

“I can imagine. I’m glad there’s a lot of you, though.” She smiled again. “I actually spend a lot of time out here because I enjoy nature and the forest in general. I was actually born many lands from here, but I started traveling when I was an adult. I’ve kind of lingered here for a while because it’s so pretty.”

“I do indeed. It’s nice to meet you-my name’s Angwu. I spend most of my time around here, just enjoying the flowers and nature in general. Sometimes I’ll fl a little too, though that’s with my animal spirit as well, and I can’t fly as high or as fast as you can, most likely.”

She smiled again upon hearing him answer. “Nice day, isn’t it? Want to come down and enjoy the flowers with me, or can I come up there?” She could, after all. Angwu could fly in a sense, though it wasn’t quite the same as how birds could.

“There’s value in them, even though they can’t physically take you places. Personally I think visualizing everything in your head is the best part aside from the story itself. It’s neat that your sister has a whole library though-I bet it’s pretty impressive. Though for me, even just hearing someone tell a story is fun.”

“It’s a lot easier to travel when you can fly, I suppose.” Angwu grinned. “Confidentially, I can do a bit of that with my animal spirit as well, though probably not half as well as you can, and I’d have to rest far more often. The Moors are beautiful though; I can see why no one would want to leave for very long.”

“Oh, thanks,” she replied, smiling. “We have a good partnership. Though people struggle with their spirits sometimes. I think it’s all about listening to and caring about each other.” She watched as he changed forms. “Well hello there,” she said. “You make a nice person too. Shifting must be a handy talent. You’re the first I’ve ever seen do it, though I’ve heard of people being able to, especially around here.” 

She wondered if it were easier to fly around as a bird-it probably would be. Though if she could do that, she thought, she figured she’d have to learn how to fly all over again. Because birds flew differently, didn’t they?
