She is a woman of few words, of feelings and emotions, with little voice to offer. The peacock does not mind. The one word she speaks is enough, for it holds within it a world of emotion. Freedom. Seven letters. Seven lifetimes of definitions. But it is freedom the Starry-Eyed says that the bird desires, and so freedom it will have. With a twitch of his feathers, the peacock turns his gaze from Africa to the morning dove and the cage dissolves. Where it once stood, there is left only a bird, fluttering its wings and going to join its brethren. Its happy coos fill the cave and it dances in the air a few moments before settling on a ledge with some others. She said he had wished for freedom, and so it was freedom that he received. Her wish is the birds command.

Come along, he decides at last, leading her deeper into the cave. The spring sun can no longer light the way here, but glowing plants reminiscent of those in the Heart Caves provide illumination instead. The psittacines still line the walls of the cave here, chirping and chattering, but one sun conure sits in a corner all alone. His yellow feathers seem dull and he sings no song. His lifeless eyes look around, longing for something but he has no voice to say what it is he needs.

And that one? The peacock queries, his crimson gaze returning to the gray mare. What does this one desire? What does she see in him? Do her memories in this cave affect her answers? Does her depression make her blind or open her eyes? But then, the bird is curious for something else, too. How does this mare affect what her companion sees? Turning to Silas, the peacock makes the first noises he has made since Africa arrived. He clacks and chortles through his beak, the sounds unintelligible to Africa but decipherable to the zephyr. What does your brother wish for? The same question to two separate entities. Will their answers complement or clash with one another? The mysterious peacock waits.
