I like her explanation of her name. It made her feel ... big. Like part of a concept, almost as if she wasn't real. My gaze drifted slightly as I imagined all of the spices as small creatures around her, scurrying and adding to her mystery. Realizing that I had briefly stopped listening, my ears flickered forward abruptly as a goofy smile parts my dark lips. I like how she says my name.

"I like Spice." I offer, nodding, still very aware of how close we are. I am not old enough yet to feel any sort of ... stirrings anywhere, but I do know that this is like ... Mommy and Daddy closeness. The only ever creature I've been this close with is Ivezho and he's my twin.

Is this weird?

"Rhoa means beast in my Father's language." Why am I telling her this? I like the meaning of her name way more. I'm not a beast. I'm not even brave - or at least the bird-lady didn't seem to think so.

Her eyes and smile look strange to me. Mother's eyes are always kind and wise, and Father's are hardened and strong. Spice's appear somewhere in between, like she could be nice or she could push me to the ground without even blinking. Should I be afraid? I'm not but... should I be?

Nah.

Awkwardly, I step backwards, dusting myself off with one of my embered-wings. I have a few cuts on my knees, but for the most part you can't tell that I've fallen onto the rocks, given that I'm the same dusty-gray as the ash here. "I was trying to fly ... guess you saw that huh?" Shyly I look up, trying to gauge her gaze. Will she make fun of my attempt to land (/ my fall)? Can she fly better? Where does she live? What does she like? She didn't ask my name before I gave it ... maybe she knows who I am? I want to ask her all of these things, but I'm sure it would be rude. Mother wouldn't approve. I"ll just wait.
