Accidental Video

[golden_hawke]

-=The aftermath of the snowball war is apparent everywhere. Trampled snow, destroyed forts, knocked over building debris and trees...

But one tree stands alone. And Hawke's there, busily carving names in the highest portions of the trunk, letting them winding down towards the base by the snow trampled ground.

He's currently working on his own name, a design of swirls and points in a language that no one would really know here. It's his full name, a name that he has revealed to no one here, not even lovers. Hawke takes his time, brushing off bits of bark here and there. When he's finally done, he sighs softly, touching the markings longingly. A moment later he pulls his cloak closer to his body and continues on with the work. He must have been out there for a while now, since he's wearing a heaving cloth around his waist that's down to his ankles, a tunic and the cloak.=-

Ve-he-ment?

[bunny_flower]

It has to do with powerful energy and emotion, mostly. Something very intense.

[Offline]

[golden_hawke]

Ah. -=nods.=-

Very strong things.

[Offline]

[bunny_flower]

Yes, exactly.

Are you waiting for someone else ?

[Offline]

[golden_hawke]

-=Shakes his head slightly.=-

Everyone who has wanted to visit now has done so.

[Offline]

[bunny_flower]

In that case, may I invite you over for tea ?

[Offline]

[golden_hawke]

I would love some tea. -=Smiles happily as he comes to her side.=-

[Offline]

[bunny_flower]

Then let's go.

[She holds out her arm.]

Hold on tight.

[golden_hawke]

-=There's a very boyish grin on his face as he takes hold.=-

Ready!

[And she will treat Hawke to some flash stepping, although she'll go considerably slower than she would normally be. Breaking friends' bodies is not really fun, so she makes sure to go at a speed that will not hurt him.

It only takes about a minute for them to land in front of the Clinic.]

-=He's still clinging to her like an excited little boy, grinning from ear to ear as he waits for his balance to settle again.=-

Kirin can do this! Move from place to place without walking or running.

[Offline]

[bunny_flower]

Ara, it is not exactly the same, then. We do walk, just too fast for the human eye to see.

But I am glad you liked it.

-=Nods, releasing her once he's settled.=- Unicorns move in a similar manner.

[Offline]

[bunny_flower]

Unicorns ? They also exist in your world ?

[She leads the way inside and starts putting the kettle on for tea.]

[Offline]

[golden_hawke]

-=Nods.=- And dragons.

It is said that the humans asked the unicorns to teach them magic. They refused. They asked the dragons and they taught magic to them.

[bunny_flower]

I wonder what they would think of us, your people.

Are there any beings like me in your world ? Who guide the souls and protect them ?

[Offline]

[golden_hawke]

Not as a separate people, no. We have shamams, living people who guide and protect souls. They help lead the way. There are also people called [LifeKeepers]. They guide people like me to become a part of Faunlyn.

[Offline]

[bunny_flower]

[And here, have your steaming goblet of tea.]

Do they believe in spirits or gods ? Or does nature guide them ?

[Offline]

[golden_hawke]

All things carry a spirit. All spirits guide us on our path, but in the end it is the path we choose to walk.

-=He blows on his tea before taking a careful sip.=-

Some walk with the spirits, both in waking and in dreaming. Poe is one such person.

[Offline]

[bunny_flower]

Your friend.

[She remembers him mentioning the name.]

[Offline]

[golden_hawke]

Yes. He is Shai's brother. -=pauses another moment.=-

Poe is my [LifeKeeper]. The one who was responsible for me before I became Faunlyn. Long ago Shai was [LifeKeeper] for Darla. She is the sister to my mother.

It is great to see that this ... community is so tight-knit. That they help each other and teach each other.

[Offline]

[golden_hawke]

Alone is lonely. Family is everything. Kirin will die if they are not close.

[Offline]

[bunny_flower]

That must be difficult for you, then.

[She holds out a hand.]

I cannot pretend to replace them, but you do know that I am here for you if you need anything.

[Offline]

[golden_hawke]

I do not expect you to replace them. You are... unique. -=He takes her hand, bringing it up to his forehead to nuzzle gently.=-
