Wynter digested that. It would certainly be possible if Arcana can from a clan of fortune-tellers. Finding lost items probably wasn't quite or even close to the same as trying to predict future events, but it didn't seem so outlandish to have one talent and be able to possess others of a similar nature.
"I've never really tried looking for things before." Then, quieter, "I've never had anything important to lose." It was true that Wynter was content with her life, and had never really needed "things" to make her happy. But she didn't have anything precious to her either. Just....peace and solitude in a stable environment. If felt like she was only just seeing this fact for what it was, and Wynter found herself wondering if it was sad that she didn't have anything important to her.

Arcana made a small ‘hmmm’ sound and tilted her head to the side. “Well in my case its not because I lost things precious more that I’m curious about finding out new things, so I’m on the look out because it interests me. However I suppose you could call my hobbies precious to me?” she commented in a questioning tone.
“Hmm its okay though that you don’t look for things, or didn’t look for things because its not like everyone gets something precious to them right off the bat, it kind of just comes along when its needed.” Arcana mused. “So not having anything just meant at the time you didn’t need it is all. Then again it depends on the definition of whats precious. I will be sad when some of my special things are lost but really I’ll still have the memory of them so its not truly gone” she wondered if she was making any sense. At times Arcana often got carried away talking about things that really only made sense to her.

Wynter also tilted her head, as though to help her view a new perspective. "I suppose a hobby could be precious. If it represents a large part of who you are in some way or is something you give your all to with no regrets, it seems like it should count as something precious."
The rest of Arcana's words also made sense. People changed through time as they grew older and more experienced. Perhaps whatever was important to them was only waiting for them to reach the proper level of maturity before it made itself known.
Wynter paused, then looked up. "Arcana? Do you think maybe my precious thing could be another person?" For someone like Wynter who didn't set much store in possessions, it seemed the most likely course for her.

“Well hobbies them selves aren’t really precious they are just something you’re passionate about, although they can lead to finding something precious” Arcana mused and tried to clear up. “Its hard some times determining between something precious and something your passionate about, especially when something can be both.”
After all she was passionate about fortune telling and searching for things but the truly precious things to her where different, they where her family and her memories with her clan and her sisters and uncle. There where also a couple of family heirlooms she also thought of as precious because they belonged to her mother.
Arcana stopped looking around for things and turned around to look at Wynter. “Well I believe so, I mean my family is precious to me, my friends are precious to me so yes I would believe that people can become precious” Arcana replied with a serious nod.

Wynter made a short humming sound under her breath, taking Arcana's words and comparing them to her own life. "You're the only person I've really gotten to know before now," she said, looking out over the land. "I've met a few other strange foxes, but they were just passing through and didn't really stop to make friends."
Wynter looked back to Aracana, looking up and tilting her head to the side. "Can you be something precious to me?"

For some odd reason what winter said about not getting to know other foxes well enough was a bit sad, everyone should have a friend or some one. It helped experiencing life so much more enjoyable and when you got beat down because of one thing or another you should always have some one there for you to turn to. She looked up again and watched Wynter again.
“I….” Arcana started. It was an interesting question, which could be taken a lot of different ways. “I could be, but truly I cant decide what is special to a fox, its something you have to decide” She finally answered.

Wynter sighed softly, looking down at the ground. "I am unsure of exactly how you are special to me. I only know that in some way you are. Maybe it's something I'll need time to truly figure out." She looked back up at Arcana and smiled in a slightly rueful manner. "If I realize nothing else at this point, you have shown me that perhaps I have been living a bit too isolated."

Arcana smiled secretly thrilled to be special to some one not family. It didn’t matter if it was just friendship any type of relationship was pretty special to her. “I think that’s a wise move, after all these types of things don’t come instantly I guess” she replied this time looking up at the sky. “Well living alone is okay too but really it’s a lot more fun to see the world with a friend or special fox” she nodded smiling.

Wynter smilied shyly up at Arcana. "Maybe after we're done seraching the mountain for useful things, you can show me a little bit of the world I've been missing," she said, quiet. Instantly she a little horrified of herself for asking something so selfish. Surely she was imposing on Arcana, which couldn't be at all polite to do to someone you considered precious.

A huge smile broke out on Arcana’s face. She could be useful right? Sure she was useful at the clan but she had hit sort of a dead end on her training, partially why she was out here trying to get out of her slump. Maybe escorting wynter around and showing her the world would be something different enough to get it back in to gear and besides it was something she wanted to do. “Alright, I would like that very much, I might not be the best of guides but I shall try my best” she smiled.

Wynter laughed softly. "I am sure you will be a wonderful guide," she said. "I have no seen much of the world anyway, I believe I will find it all fascinating no matter what kind of guide I have." She gave Arcana one of her small smiles. "It is the company that counts with the things, I am given to understand, and I can think of no one's company I'd like better than yours. That would make you the best for the task, I believe. I shall do my best not to be a burden."
The was Wynter's main fear. Arcana had been wonderfully positive in her response, quelling some of that horrified feeling she'd had. There was still that little flutter of doubt though, that she was being selfish and Arcana was only humoring her. Well, that only made her even more determined that she not make any trouble for Arcana whatsoever!

“Oh yes but really boring guides can make trips hell you know” Arcana teased and then tilted her head to the side. Where to start when one didn’t know much of the world. “ah yes that is the case, its always best to travel with good company it makes those small boring parts all the more excititng. Well I am very honored although don’t worry like I said you wont be a burden at all. I’m out learning things myself so this way we can both grow together.” Arcana replied.
She began nibbling her lip thinking of where to start. Anywhere would work but with so many things to choose from to show Wynter it was a bit unnerving. “ah I know, lets go and try to find Meris, I have a general idea of where he is and it’s a good starting place. I’ll point things out along the way as well” Arcana nodded. Worst comes to worse it was always good to go and wander towards other friends just for something to do.

Wynter nodded, then another thought made itself known in the back of her mind. "Do-Do you generally fly to different places to get around," she asked, trying to keep her tone neutral and light.
She was almost certain the answer would be yes, at least for the long distances. And Wynter didn't want to slow Arcana down or be a burden. Well, maybe it was just what her earthy nature needed anyway, a touch of air. And just maybe if she got used to it, she'd learn to love it like Arcana seemed to.

“Um….yep after all I do have wings” Arcana stated in an amused tone. Seriously flying wasn’t that bad, but like she had commented before Wynter had spent most of her time on the ground. “Although I suppose I could walk on the ground a bit more” she mused.
Of course Wynter would have to get used to some flying as well. It would be a compromise Arcana knew but Arcana was better than some who wouldn’t even suggest or consider limiting the time they got to fly. Of course it wasn’t really fair to their wingless companions and she wished the three different types got along better.

Wynter actually chuckled. "You'll probably have to walk more than often, at least a first," she said. "As much as I'm not used to flying, I can't imagine you're any more used to constantly carrying around a fox as you fly."
After all Arcana had said that her sibs were Phims, and so was most of her clan. If not all of it. Carrying sibs around when they were young was one thing, but babies were smaller and lighter. Plus once they'd grown they probably hadn't needed it anymore. And even if Arcana had occasionally carted a normal around before this, there was a difference in "once in awhile" and "everytime", especially considering how long they planned to be traveling together. Muscles not regularly used and worked tended to lose strength.
