The Sunspire so we share

oh, ho, ho, she mock-laughed with a snort, i didn't mean it in a bad way, mister tall dark and handsome.  it was a weird way of deflection — she knew somewhere deep down that she had grown too close and gotten feelings involved when all he'd probably been after was a good lay, and now she had to keep him at a joking arm's length to protect both terance and herself.  it wasn't fair to either of them, she reminded herself, when they were both so helplessly in love with another.

still.

she turned her eyes up to him, taking in his entire life story.  he had such a big family!  she wished she had something to offer him, like.. siblings or something.  but no, she was just a dumb amnesiac with like, nothing other than sunspire.  not that sunspire was bad.. she just wished for more sometimes.

really?  not once have you ever picked a name for one of your many children? she returned jokingly.  of course we can.  i'm not very versed in birds, though.

she hums, reaching back.  you'd have to pick that one.  but i'd like.. if we can have middle names, too?  something mythical.. or something to do with the ocean.  she rolled her shoulders.  there's no rush.  we can think on it.
