She had not expected him to ask of her handiwork, used to the men of the mountain being too rugged, too...stoic for such a matter. Satori did not answer at first, swallowing a mouthful in mild surprise as she nodded along to their small-talk. Turning to delicately clutch a stem in her jaws, she presented the flower to Faust so that he may better appreciate its scent.
The true reason behind her forage weighed heavy on her. The spirits would listen, of course they would, but there was a stark difference in confiding with a man of her own flesh and blood than there was the whimsy of the wind. It meant something, more. "Lavender. It's soothing to the mind." There was shyness to her words, though no shame. "Have you ever had nightmares, Faust?"
