Blacktail Deer Plateau Choosing death in order to live

Fun fact!  I used to write poetry as a kid <3 my second grade teacher actually gave me a book to put my poems in because she noticed me writing so many haha!  And I haven't really since, so this has been a really fun revisiting of an old old hobby. <3  We definitely need to again!

Maia blushed as Wraen complimented her enthusiastically and ducked her head, though her smile grew even more bright (if that was even possible!).  Half of that was you! She protested playfully, though she glowed at the idea she might have any kind of 'talent'.  She loved storytelling, and she loved bringing joy to others with it, but she'd always considered it more of a hobby and a trade than a talent.  She wasn't sure she'd go so far as to agree with Wraen yet, but the verses they'd been creating lately added a new level of depth with the rhythm of the spoken pattern that she found fascinating to play with.  

Winter poetry, and maybe if we flatter him enough, the Wintersmith won't dump so much snow on our heads.  She gave her sister a nuzzle of affectionate thanks for the compliments, then stood up.  I was going to go explore some, want to come?  Maybe we can find Arcturus along the way and have him try.  She was mostly joking, but the image of their quiet friend spouting verses was a good one!  Who knew, maybe he had a secret talent?!
