He glanced around happily the moment things got brighter, when Luster pulled the darkness of nearby shadows to herself. Was she going to show the nice lady some magic now!? He loved when she showed him magic. He loved magic. All kinds! He wished he could have some of his own one day, but he knows sometimes kids don't get magic like their mommies. So that was okay, too. He still loved to learn everything he could about it.
Momma smiled down at him when he checked to make sure he didn't do a bad thing by telling the lady his name. So, good. He did good. And he smiled and rubbed his face on her leg again, nuzzling her back when she touched him and then played in his soft hair.
The pinkish woman said it was nice to meet him, and then Momma introduced her as Djinni. Then he only stayed quiet and let them talk together, snuggling against Luster's leg and watching the conversation with rapt attention. A place with trees even bigger than theirs! That was surprising because their trees seemed so big. And a lake, and a cave.
Wow, he loved that they talked to him too! Djinni told him about the place she lived in with cliffs that vanish and big piles of rocks.
"Wow!" he blurted out, then shrank back in between Luster's legs with a little blush and merry blue eyes. It really was cool though. He'd never seen real cliffs before, but he knew what they were. And he could hardly imagine what piles of rocks would look like. All their rocks were all spread out.
Then he hushed and just watched them talk more, looking from one to the other as they did with a happy smile.
