The bald faced boy's crystal eyes settle on the delicate features of Avangaline. His ears momentarily flicker until her voice breaks the silences that spans between them. She begins her tale, she weaves her story carefully. He stands in awe as she speaks of her homeland, of wings and horses who could fly. What must it of been like to live there? To see the wonders of Goddesses who rose the sun from its bed, then like a mother, tucked it safely away for the night. As her story turns darker, he can feel fear crawl into his belly. What must it of been like, to live in constant fear of being snatched away?
Yet, before he can speak she rushes on. The cold truth pours from her mouth, she has no powers. He sucks his breath in sharply. What would be like to find out that everything you believed in was a sham? His crystal blue eyes settle on her. Then decides to offer some humor. "Maybe, you coming here is a blessing in disguise? Your godess sent you here to bless us simple creatures." He offers a smile but can still see the tears that glisten in the corners of her eyes.
His ears flick as admits that she misses her family. He understood missing one's family. "I miss my family too. My father is gone, my mother too. Everyone that I have ever known have disappeared. All that I have left are the memories, so it makes them seem a little less far away. Maybe golden girl, you cling to the memories of your family. It will make them seem closer even if they are far away."
