[open] It's a long way to the grave; any

[Mazikeen]

m a z i k e e n . Mazikeen’s sharp eyes don’t miss the way he stills after her offer, and though she does not know the reason for the reaction it causes that easy smile of hers to brighten a little more. Maybe he was surprised, but if they got to know each other well enough she’s sure he would quickly come to learn how easily she offered help - how readily it still came even (and perhaps especially) if it had a chance at being dangerous. More practically, the chance to learn more about abilities that weren’t shifting really was something she should do. It had just become one of the many things that slipped her mind as she focused on other things - but she'll be grateful for the chance if this newcomer gives it to her. Having given out the only warning needed, Mazikeen doesn’t think she needs to play tour guide - and she doesn’t want to keep pestering Ion with questions, though he’s been good-natured about answering those she has asked so far. Everything else about Hyaline was pretty self-explanatory - the lake, the mountains, the trees. Night always seemed to come a little earlier here, when the sun sank below the peaks, so maybe he would find more opportunity to explore his new abilities. So with that friendly grin, she tells him - “I’ll leave you to explore on your own, but absolutely seek me out when you’d like to practice. Or some company. I’m always prowling around here somewhere.”

 

@Ion we can probably end it here? But I'd absolutely be up for threading them again whenever you'd like!
