Hushed Willows Drifter

caw blinks owlishly, by now feeling a little in over his head. it does not seem so hard to walk away from the water. this is what they have done with their own flooding river! but maybe he just does not understand. he is beginning to think taikon is a little upset, too. like orlaith, there is something sharp to his voice. caw floats the plume of his tail uncertainly above his hindquarters, regarding him with renewed focus.

"we had visit from saints! happened month ago, maybe. but they left." he gives his tail a short wag, hoping this will buoy taikon's spirits. "not seen them since! faerie court safe, except for flooding."

"will tell dante and faerie queen about whitebark stream. but that all news about saints. not had many visitors to court." just many faeries, coming and going. caw did not think that faeries spent so little time with their courts, but maybe these are just strangers passing through to lands they know better. he does not know so much about them, even if he is one now.

what he does know is that they are not all faeries when they arrive. that is what the ceremony is for! and if they are allies... "you said have no home now." caw tilts his head again. "faerie queen would let stay with seelie court!"
