Silverlight Terrace glitter sterling and gold

A naturalist, then. He somewhat knew what that was. It was a subject - or set of subjects - that also interested him, though nothing like plants. It was still a very worthy skillset, he thought, secretly pleased with Keyni's interest. Not that she needed him to approve, of course...he quickly corrected himself.

When Keyni told him that her friend might apprentice him, his tail developed a restless mind of its own. He grinned wolfishly. He would die to be apprenticed and part of him felt like that wasn't hyperbole. Suddenly, plant life had become an enormous part of him. It distracted from his shortcomings and his self-image, it gave him something to think about aside from his constant loneliness. He didn't have a direction but it gave him hope for a purpose, anyway. "I would do anything," he told her honestly.

She asked about Qiao and the monochromic boy hummed in thought. "She was...reddish. Small. She had plants and trinkets and a wrap made by the raven, like I said. So...I guess she talked to ravens." What must that have been like? To talk to a bird? Was that even possible? She had certainly gotten the pack somehow. "She was...kinda...mysterious. She wasn't interested when I asked if she would apprentice me...I was, uh...no use to her, I guess." he shrugged, somewhat self-conscious. 

He looked down at her, really looking at her for the first time. She was so pretty, like the flowers that were starting to bloom all around the earth. With her head inclined toward him, the fur of her cheek bunched a bit and he giggled softly. "You look funny like that." he leaned forward to boop her nose with his again, cautious enough to pull away if she resisted.
