He was from a little bit of a different time than Arcturus was, least as far as Moonspear and its founding parents was concerned.

Wraen's outlook seemed pretty positive, really. I feel like I have, all things this winter considered, he agreed, a distant look in his glance then; it had not been the simplest of times, given the notes nature had played them. And I am, of course, though I could do with more weather to watch than just clouds, snow, sleet.. the same old stuff we've been looking at all winter, he listed his complaints.

He'd gladly talk all about the weather but this was kind of.. on his mind, since he was here and all and he had a good feeling she would have a way to ask sooner or later.
