Copperline [SEASONAL EVENT]

Maea Big dreamers shoot for open skies The boy sure had a lot of questions. It reminded Maea of herself, only she rarely dared to actually voice her curiosity, and to find herself as the one to answer them was a new experience. "Well... I don't know about everyone, but my family tend to settle young and live long. Mother was only nineteen when she had my brother, and my fathers mother was the same. Grandfather got really old, he was almost eighty years old when he passed... though dad only made it to fifty before a tree fell on him." Losing a son had been too hard on the old man, and losing them both within such a short timespan had been crushing. And now, barely two years later... Maea was the only one left. Ironic, as she was the youngest, smallest and by far the weakest of the Valair's. It hurt to talk about, so Remi's question about the brother was mer with a quiet shake of the head. "Long Night" was all she said; indeed, all she should have to say to explain why an entire family har been wiped off the face of the earth. Plants and seeds were easier by far to consider, and as she let the way around the house and the garden stretched out before them, Maea perked up a bit again. Here, the neglect was obvious. Weeds had begun to choke the seedbeds where kitchen plants ought to rule, the path too needed some maintenance and many of the shrubs and perennials were in desperate need of attention. Even so, after considering the different conditions offered, she led unicorn and her human to a corner where a clear attempt har been made to restore some form of order from the chaos. "I think this should be a good spot" she said, and put the bucket down. "Plenty of light, but not so much that the earth becomes dry, and I can water them regularly if you are busy. What do you think?"
