Moonspear Seeing Stars

[table width=85%][tr][td]

The empyrean remains respectfully silent while the two men exchange words. There is a lingering sense of familiarity, a sense of recognition between the pair the druid observes though not one he knows of sight. It is a recognition of deeds, he comes to learn, when Charon speaks of someone named Lazarus and how Sebastian brought them his head. This comes as news to the starlight prince and he looks to his father with unspoken inquisition in the depths of verdant, apple green gaze but he does not give voice to them even as they bubble on the tip of his tongue. Now is not the time to question what exactly was meant by those words. They easily come across as morbid but Mato does not know if Charon speaks figuratively or literally. Mato would ask the questions he desires answers to regarding this Lazarus fellow when he returned to the Fen and thus he tucked them away for the future. He was here to learn about the celestial, after all. “I can find my way back, father,” Mato assures him — not because he is eager to be rid of his father (because he is not); he is simply speaking the truth. Broken Antler Fen is not far from Moonspear and the empyrean finds that he desires independence. Not with the intention of being rebellious but it is an inventible verity of growing up. Mato’s gaze then leaves his father to land back to his generous host with an eager smile tugging at the corner of his lips, offering an amble wag of his tail. “Thank you for agreeing to teach me, sir.” It was likely not the first time Mato would offer words of gratitude; Mato has heard that it is done out of a favor owed but the druid still believes this to be a form of generosity, regardless and he seeks to communicate that he is very appreciative.
