After boarding the boat we found ourselves in a beautiful room, perfectly accompanied for a day of relaxation and enjoyment. I had been awestruck by the perfection of it all, aware that there was still a room better than ours. Phantom and I had settled in and awaited the time when we could return to our homes, to a new, cleansed Helovia. I give Phantom a true, delighted smile as I lay myself down, Yseult hopping towards Phantom excitedly to roost with her, screeching and giving little joyful peeps as she looks at Phantom hesitantly. I could feel the emotions the zephyr felt, crashing together in a mix of confusion, hesitation and a need to provide company. Whether Phantom wanted Yseult to perch on her withers was all up to her, small dual-wings fluttering pathetically to exaggerate her want.
With my eyelids growing heavy, I smile and huff, muttering something like goodnight, before closing my eyes and feeling sleep grasp me, but it was a loose hold and I still felt my conscious thoughts invading my peace. Thoughts of all the wonders the future holds for Aurelia and I, the child we'll soon be able to conceive. A smile plays its way upon my lips as I feel the gentle sway of the boat, the thundering rain above and the sweet sounds of others enjoying themselves upon the boat. I had to find Aurelia, to lay beside her and sleep, to whisper sweetest nothings to her. Where was she now, I wonder?
I awake slowly, eyes blink, weight no longer rolling side to side, ears perking at the sound of shuffling hooves. I eye Phantom with a horned brow raised, rising to see what everyone was doing. I come to find that the flood is over, Helovia has been restored. A grin flashes, growing eager to see Helovia after the flood, noticing that charms had been laid out, I suppose for those who had given their best efforts. I take one, Yseult aiding in tying it into my mane, bundled beneath the golden feathers. I hurry off the boat, praying Phantom followed. A smile dances over my lips as crimson lightning laps at the green grass at my hooves, wings sliding open, the aches in my bones eased as I open them. I turn to talk to Phantom, to thank her for all that she'd done for me and to leave her with a gift.
"Thank you for everything," my smile is bright and delicate, my stomach knotting with fear for leaving such a precious companion behind. "I hope we meet again one day, whether it be by accident or purpose, although uhm- probably by accident—" I glance to my wing, reaching forth to pull from it a long, slender red feather, speckled with pale patches. Perfect, I look Phantom in the eye and offer a smile. The colours were very similar, although my feather was a shade or so lighter, but it'll do. The tweak of pain fades away to a dull throb as I offer Phantom the feather with my heart skipping beats nervously. It probably wasn't much, but I suppose it'll do. "And here's a uh- a gift for you, to show my uhm.. my gratitude for you being so tolerant of me. Especially with that father and his daughter, and my big mouth screwing shit up." Huffing a little at that, I give a dorky smile, one ear flicking back as I fearfully step closer to Phantom. Does she even want my feather? This is a little weird, having your friend give you something of theirs because you tolerated their stupidity. Maybe I shouldn't be doing this? What if she isn't even my friend? What if she's just— what if she just wanted to deal with me for the sake of not having to be alone in a cold, damp room? I stop and stare at her, mouth gaping a little with the feather hanging from my lip. "We are.. friends, right? Cause I like you— in a friend way." The last bit comes out a bit panicked, quicker than my other words. I awkwardly stutter, still trying to get used to this friendship business and speaking formally to people.
The Earth God better consider this a good enough friendship cause there's no way in hell I'm going out and doing this again.
"blah blah blah."
