Ravensblood Forest brief encounters

There was a shuffling sound in the underbrush before she emerged - and when she did, the girl was bathed in light he otherwise would not have seen. Imbibed by it, Bazi became akin to a firebug - the thought roused a smirk to his hooded face - and then her voice, quiet but pleased, brought about the toss of his tail. The muttered thank you sat in his mind and he recited it mentally a few times while she approached, dainty in her motions as the proximity lessened. "Sleep?" She queried, and he gave a succinct nod. "Sea, codlata-- ah," he dipped his head slightly when he realized the slip back to his usual language, and then corrected himself, "Codlata, sleep."

With that explained (even briefly) Tiarnan fell quiet again and paced backward, thumping down on to his rear so that he was sitting before Bazi. A stark black silhouette next to her ivory perfection. With a slip of one bony limb he plopped to his chest and then to his side, bracing himself against one of the naturally formed walls of dirt; roots arched above his head, reminiscent of thick spider legs. He watched her for a few moments, unsure of what she would do, but he was tired and the comfortable spot made his eyelids begin to droop.
