Moonspear rich folks laugh while the furnace burns

Caelum listened to the story as it unfolded. He was excited at first, though he was startled by the fact that lightning was depicted as a mother. Lightning was female? He really liked lightning, but he had always thought of it more as a manly sort of thing. This changed everything. He blinked owlishly as he tried to piece together this new knowledge and make it find a place in his mind. But as the story unfolded, it turned out that not only was the lightning mother badass, it was easy enough for him to transform his love for lightning into a crush on the lightning mother in the story. He was not sure what the feeling in his gut was, but he didn't share it with the group and stoically listened to the rest of the story.

Altair had questions, but Caelum mostly just thought of the lightning mother. He didn't want to hear about snow — he wanted to hear more about lightning. Yet he didn't intervene, left alone with his thoughts while he tried to give all of the new information he had received a place in his mind's cabinet.
