Maude


The way to the Moon Temple seemed much further away when one had such precious cargo.  Trundling along with her second potted glow-cherry tree, the tree-maiden has made her way precariously from Trewdwellan across the realm once already, and is now on her final venture.  Hoping that, in the interim, no one accidentally knocked over her current cargo’s sibling, the girl gently hums a soothing tune to her currently tightly clasped between her teeth potted sapling.

Though she had initially started them to grow alongside Trewdwellan, founding a small grove by which she could remember Erthë by (who, having been healed, seemed to be lured out of Helovia by her wandering heart, and had not yet returned), and which Maude could show her, when she returned.  Ever the optimist, it does not cross the youth’s mind that, perhaps, her chilly skinned friend would never return to Helovia at all, let alone the World’s Edge, and perhaps even time will be unable to deter the steadfastly hopeful girl from her illogical path of logic.

Making a muffled gasp of horror when she stumbles over a root, the cloaked maiden wobbles precariously for a moment, but daren’t loosen her hold on the glass pot.  What a disaster that would be!  Regaining her balance swiftly enough, Maude carries on, all the more cautious for the last hundred yards.

When she at last makes it to the Temple and her (blessedly) safe plant’s equally safe sibling, she gently sets down her precious sapling, and promptly plops down alongside them.  Not all together physically weary, her neck and shoulders are terribly sore from having to be so still, and her head is definitely done for a while.  That was too much focus for a swiftly living girl, like she!

Sighing as she flops her antlered head over on the grass, her legs splayed out to either side of the pots, and her belly some half foot from the blue glass sides, the ever cheerful daughter of Doctor Tilney talks to her trees, as she was apt to do.

"Oh, I know you are tired of living in glass, she giggles and mumbles at them, quietly; if someone weren’t very, very close, they couldn’t hear her at all, "but just a moment longer.  It was ever so tiring making it here, you see, and I’d hate to hurt you by accident.  Rehoming little trees isn't easy, you know!"

Especially for a young unicorn…

[ OOC:  She is transplanting her glow cherry saplings alongside the Moon Temple path, if anyone would like to help! ]
what a wonderful world

Hold onto this lullaby, even when the music's gone.
