Overture Downs Feel quite clean in this new skin that we have grown.

It felt like she'd found someone that fully understood her, even after this brief encounter. It helped that he was cute and close to her age - not that Ibis was wise enough to entertain any thoughts of romance or anything - but it was just good that she didn't have to second-guess her words, that there wasn't some kind of apprehension overshadowing her every action. She felt free here, in the moment. Content with this boy at her side. Still, the conversation couldn't last forever; it was getting too dark and he had duties to fulfill. All that Ibis had to be responsible for at the moment was herself, and she was happy to stick around for a bit and watch the stars.

Thank you, she responded with a smile to his well-wishing, her tail swaying softly. Maybe.. Maybe when we come back, if we come back this way one day, I can hear you sing again. Promise you'll practice?

Little did either of them know, but soon the Hollow would be cleaved in half and Breccan would be off on his own adventure.
