Sun Mote Copse Dear Daddy-Long-Legs

arcturus gave an uncustomary wink as wraen asked when he had gotten so good -- "since i got a good teacher," the ostrega joked, followed by crossing one paw over the other with a good-humored smile.

he could tell wraen was tired, and it nagged at him. rather than keep her up (and truly, he was winging it as he went anyway) arcturus offered. "i can finish the story tomorrow. it will give me more time to think of a good twist." of course, rau would get his redemption -- or not -- if arcturus ever continued the story, but for now he was perfectly fine with letting poor wraen rest, rather than keep her up for his own selfish ego.
