King Elk Forest Nature at it's Finest

a strange part of him flickers with -- pride? which is insane because he's just delight, just the one holding stuff together until mato comes back from whatever dark place he's at. maybe it's just because it's nice to have another storyteller around. yeah, that's definitely it. 

"oh, i guess i owe you one too, huh?" delight asks, suddenly remembering the terms of their agreement. he flicks through his mental inventory -- he collects histories more than fictions, and most of those histories aren't his to share yet -- and settles on something, but waits for kota to sign off before starting, just in case.
