Evie
When hope and peace begin to fray
She makes a playful tsk’ing noise at the news of a second mythological dud. “Maybe they considered you too blessed already,” she teases, “and they’re saving some for the rest of us.” Everything he has was earned through toil and trial and she would never insinuate otherwise, but it was free game when poking fun.
Though she drinks in her familiar secret friends, Evie watches him all the more, excited to witness his reaction to seeing a new creature that was undeniably cute in nearly all ways. It’s worth it, and she crouches down beside him to lean her shoulder against his, beaming. “They don’t stray far because the bamboo is nearly their entire diet, so they’re easy to keep a secret.” Often they would move a little further east to alternate between leaves and shoots of two different bamboo species, but they never strayed outside of those boundaries.
“When I came here often, they’d let me close and would investigate me. They are incredibly soft, and very lazy.” Sleeping nearly constantly, snoring away like lost cotton balls in the grassy fields. Establishing trust with them had taken up an entire year for her, but it had been worth getting her hands on them.
