The ominous feeling didn't really relent, despite Flowers' words of praise. There was something off, something going on, she could feel it to her core. Down to her very bones Leilani could tell that a problem was stirring. Had she stumbled upon some sort of sick and ancient magic? Or perhaps...

Leilani blinked a few times, clearly aware that something had shifted. Something was off. But he'd made a simple request, nothing too startling or odd about it. The dark winged elf had no qualms speaking of her people, of who they were. Within reason, of course, there were things her people...

Leilani tensed and cursed quietly to herself as the creature seemed even less stable than he had before. Why'd she have to land? Why did she have to leave the safety of the sky? "I don't hear any song," she tried to reason, "just calm down Flowers, there isn't any song." The avariel took a...

Almost immediately Leilani could tell that something was wrong. The body language of the beast before her seemed to change, his demeanor shifted. Then, with a loud boom, he sat upon the earth and began shaking. Holding both hands upon his head. In a start the Avariel jumped in surprise...

Odd. Maybe she'd spoken too much? Given him a headache? Some of the older Avariel had teased her for being too verbose but she'd always just dismissed it as playful banter. Maybe her voice truly was so grating as to illicit severe head trauma? "Oh." She said finally as he spoke. He was...

”I travel fast.” It was true. The Avariel were well known for their flight. Other races of Arethil had even dismembered their children centuries ago in a futile effort to understand the cause of the wings. And Leilani had been one of the swiftest flyers of her generation. ”In the...

”Yes, a Watcher, I make sure our Elders know as much as possible before making a decision.” A simplified answer, but a good enough one she supposed. Where all had she been? That one might be harder. ”Our city, Thyasari, is in the clouds.” Leilani spread her wings wide and pointed upwards to...

The towering wendigo spat the partially chewed flowers as he nibbled. His namesake just kept making more and more sense. Then he asked his question. A fair one, a question she'd even asked herself. "I am a Watcher," she answered honestly. Of course, she'd likely leave out some of what her...

Oh. That was where his name came from! How clever. ”They’re lovely flowers,” she said, ”they taste good?” The answer had to be yes if they were the ones he liked best but it didn’t hurt to ask. Fae magic? Interesting. Leilani knew little of the fae other than that they existed...

Before her eyes Leilani saw the forest vibrant into life. With a clear and beautiful voice the creature before her spoke words into power and the vegetation seemed to sing along with all of the wildlife. This was precisely the sort of thing the Elder Council would want to know. An absolutely...

A tilt of her head was followed by scrunched lips. He didn’t understand the question because he didn’t count his age? Or because no one had ever asked? It posed several questions as Leilani wondered if she’d bother keeping track of her age if she wasn’t part of Avariel society. ”It means how...

Oh. So he was a scavenger. Like the buzzards who sometimes soared high enough to perch on the lower levels of Thyasari. Leilani wasn't surprised by the fact that many might find such an act disgusting but she was a member of The Watchers. Collecting information was important to the Avariel...

"Oh." Her voice was even toned and calm. This creature was a carnivore. Moreover a carnivore with manners. He didn't want to eat her, or at least she continued to presume so, but he also didn't want her to witness him eating. "I'm sorry. It's OK, you don't have to eat." She took a small...

Her lips twisted in confusion as both a crow seemed to peck at his skin, she assumed it was his skin, and he insisted he not eat in front of her. She thought about addressing the crow but the concept of him eating changed his entire body language. ”I won’t hate you.” Her words were stern, yet...

The big oaf before her didn’t even have a name? Just one given to him by some passing axer it sounded like. And the thing before her had proven it’s intellect once more. Far more intelligent than she had assumed just a few seconds ago. It had proven it had self awareness. It understood the...
