 this town is only gonna get worse You don't want her to turn. You do want her to turn. She has to turn... but when she does her gaze hits you with a jolt. Wet feathers fluff and flutter at your sides; the dainty shape of your skull jerks skyward, and every nerve in your body sings. You don't run, but you threaten to. In the end, the sound of her voice pins you down: gentle, inviting. Zyanya, she says, and your ears twitch. Do you have to give your own name now, in answer? A voice in your head says yes, but sullenly you clench your jaw, teeth grating over each other. And your eyes rest anywhere but her, skating between tree trunks and between rain drops, squeezing shut when a drop of water lands too close to an ear and you answer with a violent shake of your so-delicate head. The head shake turns into a body shake, the sort birds do when they've been swimming, and flecks of rain dance from your little wings as the feathers puff up. Ugh. When you finish, you find the mare is talking again. Zyanya. Whatever. Narrowed eyes flicker briefly to her strangely colored face before they move away. "Rain," you parrot, the word a punch. "Why is it...?" Trailing off, you wait for an answer. Why is it here? Why is it falling? Why why why? Mama would know. Too bad you ran off to adventure and left her behind. Suddenly the bite of loss is keen, and you shuffle a bit closer Miss Zyanya, petulant and miserable. Your wings shake again as if to rid themselves of the constant wet. "It's not hot in my home," you say, as if that's a good excuse for never having seen rain before. Or maybe you're bragging. A quick jerk of your head, and you eye the mare's horn again, your gaze shifting critically to her lack of wings. The question rests in your eyes, no need to speak it aloud. You do anyway. "Do you live here?" Well, sort of. You really want to know if she can help you with your quest, and you kind of suspect she's from the same place as you, but if she was, why would she be running around in the southlands, which suck, rather than hanging out in the absolute coolest place in the world?
