@dethalamh has requested a story : ❝ you’re a story that hasn’t happened yet. i want to be part of the unfolding of the tale. ❞ (for kaen or moria)

a prompt i lost.

Not oft’ the recipient of such kindness , it leaves the wee doe a little b a f f l e d , to be sure ( is he serious ? they wonder , always cautious of stepping into the fleeting face of friendliness , does he mean it ? ) .  But own shock is short-lived , replaced by a sense of bashful joy.  Those words bring a shimmering t w i n k l e to the godling’s complexion , inspiring a LIGHT to cast upon normally so melancholic countenance ( like a storm being broken , their innate despair is dispelled ) .  Oh , what a SWEET THING to hear !  To think , someone should like to be part of their life ( to think , more so , that it is a genuine sentiment ) !

Despite themself , Kaen l a u g h s , their docility breaking away in favor of bright-noted giggling and grinning ( see how they shine , as if looking into the face of the sun itself & having it smile back in blissful blessing ) .  ❝ Aw , c’mon , y’flatter me !  Tha’s so nice o’ ye ta’ say. ❞  Forgive them , they cannot resist the pull of offering a returned favor ; their hands reach out , taking gentle hold of the Druid’s own , s w a y i n g them lightly to and fro.  ❝ But , y’know , Ah’m really not sure tha’- tha’ ‘s gonna be a very pleasant story … ❞  Kaen confesses , frowning , ears falling downwards.  ❝ After all , when’s a ‘ero’s tale e’er filled wit’ ‘appy t’ings , aye ? ❞  They shake their antlered head , cinders ruffling free from their fiery mane and drifting down harmlessly between them.

Grip tightens slightly upon Druid’s hands , their touch is WARM & FIRM ( a desperate clinging to the connection forged ; a telltale need to hold onto this newfound companionship ) .  Fauny features fix into an expression of seriousness , of conviction , tone soft as ever but rife with m e a n i n g , ❝ But Ah know- Ah know tha’ though th’ journey may not be good ‘r kind , it doesnae ‘ave’ta’ be done alone.  If ye wanna come wit’ me an’ see it unfold … Then th’ leas’ Ah can do ‘s ‘elp yer story find a ‘appy endin’ , too , aye ? ❞

“You’re new around these parts, aren’t you?” (For Dustin)

An unwelcome intrusion concluded his woeful elegy prior to its natural end, silvery lyre strings brought to a standstill mid-pluck as his attention fell upon this new face as they approached. Dissonant notes hang in the air with his release of Nocturne's strings... then, silence.

Oh, how he'd relish a dull night of haunting his hunting grounds in peace.

But with the instrument's alluring musical spell broken and an unfamiliar face rapidly encroaching, the skittish nocturnal wildlife surrounding the bard took their leave, scattering in every which way before vanishing into the misty moonlit forest around them, leaving Dustin alone with this peculiar traveler.

"If that was your attempt at a jest, it fell flat, traveler. I was born in these woods. And I've yet to eavesdrop on word around the town of an unfamiliar face milling about... which can only mean you've only begun to tread this land. I know not why you're here. But I suggest you return from whence you came."

Dusty | Megadeth - The Blackest Crow

This cold, empty house is So quiet now she's gone The dust accumulates into Mountains on the ground My paper's piled on the steps Her flowers all have died I'm searching everywhere For someone I'll never find

The haunting never fades, laughter's gone away It's too late, when you've lost your soul I left her everything, she only left my ring My world is darker now than the blackest crow
