Welcome to Gaia! ::

Again, Soul laughs softly. It seems to come easily enough for him, though he rarely laughs without cause. It's only that Frenzy is so very different from any doe he's ever met before. So fiery and full of temper and spirit. It draws him to her like a moth to the moon, if only out of sheer curiosity. His own temperament had always been so much calmer, so level and steady.

"I have seen many things." He nods. "And you may be right, there may be more for me to see, yet. I'm sure you will do fine. You're strong enough, it seems, to make such a trip. You don't seem easily dissuaded," he hides a small, teasing smirk as he turns his head back around to face forward while they walk. "Perhaps I will meet her there, this doe."

"I believe you," he smiles at her, though it looks closer to a smirk than anything. "You're not like any other doe I've met before. Not that I've really met many does... let alone many kimeti. My travels take me too far, for too long, and rarely have I passed another. But even so..." He shrugs and glances at her.

"I do not think so either. Motherfather has always been fair, if not always the most predictable. You will do fine."

That laugh rolls out of him again, pleasantly surprised and amused. "And so you caught me. Still, it's not idle flattery. You really are different, and I do think you capable of making it, even if I just met you." He shrugs a little. "I've seen the harshness that the Swamp has to offer, and I've seen what happens to the weak and fool-minded. I believe you to be neither. You will do fine, and you are welcome."

"Haha... no, that you do not seem to be. There are other wise and strong kimeti out there. I can't say I've ever run across one I would call a fool, though a few were perhaps a touch too naive for their own good. Not that I can blame them. It's not bad to be naive, at least so long as they do not wander too far into the unknown. Though I imagine those such as they have no desire to do so, in any case. Not like you, or like me."

"Oh, him? That's just Spectre," he laughs a bit, and hums a low note. The bird circles lower before perching on one of his horns, feathers flapping a bit before it settles. "He's my companion when the times are with less companionable. The crane there is Pearlsong."

He tilts his head at the snake around Frenzy's neck, "And what do you call your friend there?"

"That's.... different," he arches a brow and just shakes his head. "Spectre found me one day when I was singing by myself. I'd heard a songbird for a few days, sometimes singing along with me, but I didn't know it was the same one until he just came down one day out of the blue and perched on my head like he'd always belonged there." He laughs a bit at the memory. "I found Pearlsong hurt from some sort of predator. He was already recovering pretty well but after I offered him one of my fish well... he's just stuck with me ever since. They're good companions to have."

Soul nods his head and hums softly in agreement at the watersnake. At the question, he turns his head a bit to regard Frenzy, a small smile teasing at his mouth. "Perhaps... I never know when I'll see another dream, but it's a ways yet to the Ocean, I'd imagine. Besides.... it's nice to travel in company again. As much as I don't really mind the solitude, spending time with such a lovely doe is certainly an improvement."
