Stone Circle I will touch the rain with all I have

Most people, when they say things such as how are you? or what's up?, think to expect the question turned on them. Most people think to have a response ready, even a generic one like another day in paradise! which really just means I'm dying inside but it's fine. Reverie was not most people. The question wasn't only small-talk to her. It was a genuine expression of interest, and to have it turned on her so quickly; she wasn't sure what to say!
How was she? Reverie thought of Lestan and what they had done. She flushed and then she wanted to cry. I - fine! I'm fine! She said too brightly, hesitant at first and then suddenly rushed. She might as well have said another day in paradise.
