“Any preference?” He asks her, and for a moment she’s confused – forgetting about the eggs with the millions of questions that drift around her mind like the planets around the sun. But she focuses on the pan again before responding, a hum of amusement leaving her. “Mmm… Over easy.” She says lightly, preferring to dip some pieces of bread into the yolk so long as it’s soft and runny. But she forgets about it soon after, the rumble to her stomach, the smell of the food he makes.
And she focuses on what he says. It was the last night of Leafchange, around the same time Kiada had gone to Ludo and Ludo had answered. It was after the lantern festival, where wounds and blight had reopened her sorrows, and she folds her arms in front of her, resting her head against it as she watches him somewhat feline – like, a smile on her face. “It’s really fun, isn’t it?” She asks in response to his intrigued idea of flying – the freedom that came with it.
Her smile grows wider as he mentions Amalia suggesting it, encouraging him to go to the shrine. Of course, it had to have been her to convince the man to go to a shrine. Gods knew he wouldn’t go on his own without some prodding. And she nods, excitement alighting in her eyes when he mentions she came to him. “Ah! Was she… better? Or still blighted?” She asks suddenly, wondering.
And he tells her that she dropped him out of the sky and her lips part in some surprise. “Oh my gods.” She can’t help the laugh – because while it might have been terrifying, he was standing before her totally fine. And with a feathered form, so it obviously had to work. She covers her lips with her hand for a moment, still trembling but better with every moment, and she listens further.
“An eagle, right? I do take some pride in being a bit bigger than you in that form, by the way.” She jests to him with a twinkle of mischief to her eyes before she smiles gently to him as he agrees to the flight. And she nods to that – later, after they’ve eaten, after they’ve caught up. But she has something she has to get off her chest too, and she focuses on him easily. “I went to a shrine at the end of Leafchange too. Before the blight got worse.” She announces simply, mischief sparkling once more in her gaze. “And I got to see Ludo.”
