Lena
hope is the thing with feathers
that perches in the soul
that perches in the soul
Folding her arms across the deck’s timber, eyes following the lines of feathers and wingtips, Lena listened quietly to a world of descriptions, to hues and factions she’d never see. “Hm, so, similar to the notice boards, in a way?” Patchworks of faded parchment underneath the newer dedications and advancements, ranging from gossip to guilds, from destruction and menace to curiosities. Maybe with such tactics, they were all journalists in a way, publishing their findings for the world to see – or merely passersby.
The Caretaker bit her tongue at the semblances of fair – because nothing in Caido seemed to be either. Instead, she tilted her head, gaze flicking back to the notes already hastened down in her neat, detailed scrawl. “And what do you think of Caido so far?” Uncertain of how long this woman had been sent into the wake of the unfamiliar, knowing and understanding that it could be overwhelming. Sometimes just stepping outside the stony walls of Stormbreak was much the same.
At the mention of her occupation, the grin lit up further – effervescent and beaming. “I do. I love it.” She paused, beginning to hum lightly under her breath. “They’re rehabilitated. When they’re healed, they return to the wild.”

and sings the tune without the words
and never stops at all
and never stops at all
