The Oerwoud was undoubtedly beautiful, but it wasn’t appearance alone that had drawn her to the region. It was wild, untamed, free in a way that she hadn’t been used to when she’d left home. She was beginning to realize that having freedom, seeking it out, had been a recurring theme throughout her life. ”The Oerwoud makes me feel like anything is possible,” she said. ”There are plants and animals there that don’t even feel real. It’s bright, and colorful, and so undeniably alive - after growing up in the Grounds, being so sheltered for most of my life, it just felt kind of magical.” She laughed. ”That probably sounds silly, when so much of Caido is magic in one way or another.”
Even her own abilities were a certain kind of magic, one that she would never take for granted. ”It’s definitely makes a difference to have your own wings,” she agreed. ”I used to be scared of skyships, even though I had my owl shift. Something about not being in control of the ship just really freaked me out, when I’d spent so long learning to trust myself flying. I was terrified they were going to fall out of the sky.” Amusement colored her tone as she reminisced to those early days, when she’d first ventured out into the world. ”I traded Tal swim lessons for a ride on the Peregrine, so I could figure out that it wasn’t so bad. It’s basically how we became friends.”
At Zavien’s laugh, Soh joined him in peering towards their companions, who snuggled happily in the corner. Anani gnawed on a small chew toy, perfectly content, though she huffed a snort at the thought of Zavien as a dragon when cloud wyrms were clearly superior. Grinning, Soh nodded. ”Oh, you’d be an excellent dragon,” she said seriously, though her eyes twinkled with mirth. ”Protective, brave, strong…” As she listed off the attributes that felt most dragon-like, she grinned playfully at him. ”I bet between me and the companions, we’d have you flying in no time.”
