[ hello!!! out in the gazebo area, shadowheart can find taair, who is no longer sexy, sitting in the grass. he's got a big red book open in his lap, and appears to be writing something down in it, lifting his head every now and then to just inhale and enjoy his surroundings, and then resume writing.
and!! if she doesn't immediately come run over, she might hear him murmuring quietly to.... someone? something? loud enough to be heard, though. ]
This is very nice, isn't it? It was beginning to feel as claustrophobic as before, but - it's already gotten a bit better, hasn't it, my friend...?
[ but it would be nice if it was, is the sentiment. it never is, though - the smile on his face goes a bit wry. ] I think we will likely found out - someone did write these notes, and those pamphlets that were excluded. It's a matter of time until they show their faces, mm?
[ there is no one more beautiful and mysterious... he is struck... ]
Ah... I see.
[ to be punished, huh. it's not an unfamiliar line of rhetoric. something something fantasy catholic. ]
Perhaps the punishment is other people? [ he says - a joke, light, and then shakes his head. ] Only kidding. I don't think you told me - in your realm, is punishment the only destination, for the souls of those who pass on....?
[let's use the new locations so this is out near the entrance to the lighthouse, but shadowheart has stopped her exploring around when she's suddenly been overcome by affection week. she hears a chirping sound from a bush as the owlbear cub comes trundling back out from whatever pile of trash it was rooting around, some french fries in his mouth.
and shadowheart instantly starts talking to him in a baby voice]
There you are! Getting into trouble, are you? Don't get me kicked out of here, please.
[she will also throw her arms around his fluffy neck and start petting his feathers while she continues to baby voice at him.]
[ this is unbearably cute. do you ever feel like you just sort of walked in on something you were not allowed to see
taair is actually up at the top of the lighthouse stairs - so when he hears a commotion, he starts to make his way down, and then pauses, leaning on the wall to watch for a second, to let her have a Moment... cute.....
and then, he will clear his throat lightly so she knows he's there because he's not too much of a staring weirdo. ]
Good day, Miss Shadowheart. And good day to your fine feathered friend as well!
[ he comes down the last couple steps with a smile and immediately squats down to greet the owlbear, hand outstretched. hello baby!!! ]
Are you getting into trouble, little one? I would hope not. [ ruffle ruffle if he's allowed. ] I hope the both of you have been enjoying exploring so far...? There's so very much to see.
But, you're close, in that this is the first time I've ever seen one. It's even the first time I was ever able to step out into the sand! And that was simply wonderful.
