doing fine enough to know that everyone's a little broken
After her conversation with Melita and the rather fruitless attempts at scavenging building supplies from a ruined city, Colt naturally makes a detour to the Celestine while she's in the area. Always glad to have a chance to watch the pegasus, which she does as well today, she has quite intentionally come here for something else, leaving her out of Grimm's hair for once.

Her clothes are stiff with the drying salt from where the sea had snapped back at her plundering, wig hair drying a bit too straight, if still messy and frizzed, but lacking any beach curls that'd be natural. She dusts some of the drying salt lines of her arm now as she settles before the shrine reserved for Frey. "Nature Frey," she murmurs gently, as if the god is already within conversation range. "I'm sure you've seen or heard that I've been trying to tame Hak Etme," she begins, and if there's a slightly tired sigh to the words, it's only because this latest trip out to gather supplies and return has been an exhausting one. Bridges splintering and new one slap dashed together, and none of them entirely planned a few days ago when she'd set out. It doesn't daunt her though.

Reaching into the quiver she keeps strapped at her back, she pulls out her offerings to the god and starts to lay them out as she continues. "I would like to build a shrine for you and Rae there, to avoid having to travel too far to offer prayers. I expect others who come for what I build would also be grateful for the opportunity to lend their prayers to you too." Probably Safrin and Vi as well, but one step at a time. She expects if her casino profits her as much as she hopes, many people will be hitting their knees in the sand. 

Before the statue she has placed down a flower crown, picked from King's Ends hills when she'd been there before heading here. Dried grasses and the last few, stubborn wildflowers of the season are braided together into it, and from her ventures out at sea she's added ribbons of thin kelp strips. Beside it, two oatmeal raisin cookies, the last of the good food she had before it'd be back to salted meats and dried fruits back in Hak Etme. "I'm thinking the Boneyard, alongside Ludo and Mort, if that pleases you." Suvahasi might suit Nature Frey best, but with her plans for the casino going int he Boneyard eventually, she suspects Sex Frey would thrive better there, and she expects all the ruined and grieving sods in need of a god's reassurance won't be willing to crawl too far from the gambling den to try and make amends with the world.

Frey
"I see much," Frey agrees, rising from the shrine as if growing from the earth beneath their feet, and in such a way that the flower crown ends up jauntily perched atop their head. This season and in this location the deity is a blaze of ever changing colour, seeming to shift and alter themselves to suit Leafchange in all of the many enclosures within the Celestine. 

Colt will be able to watch the season cycle through each region and all those in between through Frey's expression and across their body - rich crimson and burnt orange leaves, a cloak of wind chill, eyes like the dying rays of dusklight. "I am flattered, peach," they continue, clearly pleased to be thought of so highly. "Hak Etme is an interesting study in opposites, don't you think? I daresay you will be challenged by it."

Leaning down, they collect one of the cookies and leave the other for Colt - almost as if they know she might need it for the journey back. "All nature is nature, whether in the lush greenery of the forest or the arid sands of the desert. I do not mind where you choose to situate your shrine - only that it is fit for worship."



Colt has been given a quest! She must:

1. Complete threads at each of Frey's existing shrines, leaving appropriate offerings for both aspects of the deity. (These threads should be completed in the board housing the shrine, rather than the shrine itself).

2. Complete a thread unearthing flowers from Meadowreach (roots and all!)

3. Complete a thread collecting water from Frey's Breath.

4. Complete a thread consecrating the ground where the shrine will be situated in a way Rae would approve of.

5. Complete a thread celebrating both aspects of Frey in the location where the shrine will be situated in whatever manner you see fit.

6. Complete a PQ with fellow Frey followers, preparing and assembling the shrine at your chosen location within Hak Etme. (Use the flowers and water from requirements 2. and 3.!)

doing fine enough to know that everyone's a little broken
It is a wholly humbling experience to witness the play of the world across Frey's features as they unearth themselves. A myriad of variations of the same thing, each one impossibly unique and yet achingly familiar. From every grand display to the subtle shifts, Frey shows them all—is them all. It's an overwhelming magnitude of nature's depth, reflecting back on Colt just how small and limited she really is. Nothing cruel to it, just the perspective change between a worm and a falcon, each experiencing a completely different world. It's as beautiful as it is fearsome.

Blinking away the dazzle cast by the world's jewelry on fine display across the god, Colt's lips twitch in a faint smile as the deity's words land. Peach in particular earns the draw of the humor, but unlike her use of it for Thal's sour first impression, Frey seems to be genuine with the term, and that's warming in an unexpected way. "That's exactly what I'm hoping for," she returns smoothly, her features cutting up into more of a grin, enticed just thinking about the potential of the challenge.

Although she knew as much, when Frey points it out, Colt is struck by how blatantly she'd slipped into the typical frame of mind. The sort that only views growth and greenery as anything worth appreciating and honoring, the exact sort of response she's been shrugging off all season with everyone slackjawed at her choice of location. A reminder that lessons are often ongoing. "Then I'll see to it that it's made just that," Colt agrees, nodding with agreement and a conclusion that the Boneyard will be suitable. As the tasks are imparted to her and their meeting fades with a long list of new trials for Colt to face, she does in fact, take that remaining cookie for the road as she strolls out. Unknowingly to walk straight into Grimm's hair after all.
