 It was amazing how warm and inviting everyone was in the faun community after she joined. She got her own nook, warm food every day, and every faun she walked by smiled and greeted her warmly. It was like a huge loving family where every pae did their part for the function of society. For weeks she wondered why her parents would keep her from such an amazing place.
And then it happened. The disaster. She had no real name other than that. One day she was in her room, absentmindedly drawing. Then a large bang, searing pain. She was thrown to the floor like a ragdoll. She managed to get onto her feet, stumble out of her room.
The memory of seeing that gaping hole for the first time would stay with her the rest of her life. Who could do such a horrendous thing?
Life afterwards was very different. The feeling of everyone, of that warmth and trusting attitude, had changed. She did was she could in the repair efforts, but more times than not she felt in the way than actually helping. Today was no exception as she quickly walked out of her room with two buckets. She was going to get some water to the hard workers busy with reconstruction.elaisa_angelic Um...so yeah. If you didn't know, there's a gigantic hole that was recently put in via bomb by a blood pae. <.<;

 Growing up within the tree, amongst the friendly and gentle Faun Pae, had shielded him. Not only from elemental Influences like weather and seasons, but from most of the harshness of outside life as well. Not it wasn't like Myst had never been outside, or was totally naïve, but his day to day life did simply not include some things that were normal on the outside ...... violence being a mayor one of those things.
As the Laisidhiel had been shaken and in pain after being hit, likewise the event had a considerable impact on Myst. On that day as he had been walking up the tree the faundations of his life had litterally shifted beneath his feet, and in his soul things felt like they had a fair ways to go before settling back down again.
Having taken only a small injury from falling debris, he had been swiftly able to join the repairs. but as the repair to the Life Tree started to slowly close the damage, Myst felt something growing bigger inside of him, it had never been there before, and he was unable to name it any better at this point than "smouldering distrust". Not of his fellow Faun, but certainly towards outside Pae.
Walking up today with new supplies for the repairs he was lost in the workings of his mind, and therefore not paying to much attention to others around him ........ Tartara Seabreeze Shock LOL! No did not know that. Good starting point! Also reading up on the island tree and everything as fast as I can, Let me know if I make any big errors! heart

Gently stepping down the gentle slope that led to the bottom floor, Amarie's eyes lit up as she noticed one of the workers. Well, she didn't know if he was a regular worker or not, but he held a few tools that certainly made it look that way. Every pae was downtrodden since the event, but she tried to remain positive. So she quickly stepped over to the winged faun. "Hello! I was thinking about getting some water for you and the other repair workers. Is that a good idea, or do you guys already have a steady supply?"elaisa_angelic Of course! It's awesome that you're doing your research :3

Just coming from the main communal area, Myst was actually looking forward to getting buisy, It usually took his mind of of his recently dark thinking, and he enjoyed being able to be usefull and give back to the Life Tree that was his home. Not expecting anyone to talk to him on the way he was momentarily lost as a female voice broke through into his attention.
Looking up he saw a female faun holding two buckets. "Oh uhm i'm sorry I didn't .." he caught her question, and thought about it for a moment, he had not seen any water at the repair site, nor anyone taking water up from the fountain "No actually I don't think anyone has actually thought of that today, so it sounds like a very good idea" he nodded in agrrement to this statement and smiled kindly.Tartara Seabreeze Lol it is fun trying to get to know and understand everything. whee

She smiled apologetically since it appeared that she interrupted his thoughts. "Sorry for bothering you. I know that you're really busy." But it looked like she was good to go on mission getting water.
The male looked rather strong...she could bring twice as many buckets of water if he helped her. But he was much too busy to take a detour and get water with her from the well. "I'm relieved to help. Everyone is working so hard, and it looks like it'll be for a long time..." There was still quite a large hole in their fortress, weeks after the fact. It was a deep source of pain for her to even glance at.

"Oh no, its no problem at all" Myst responded as he Realised the friendly lady thought she had bothered him "its actually really kind of you to bring water to the workers. I'm Myst by the way." he introduced himself as an afterthought
Looking up he could see what she was saying, they were making progress but it would still take time before the repairs would be done, but talking to someone, really taliking, not just discussing the repairs, made him feel better.
"You know I have to go down at least once more for other supplies, if you hold up a moment I could walk you down to the fountain.." he knew there really wasn't much left to pick up, but he was really enjoying this first social talk he had had ........ pretty much since all this had happened.

Had she not introduced herself yet? Silly her! She was so scatterbrained in social interactions. "Thank you. I feel so bad I can't help much otherwise. I'm Amarie. But my friends call me Ama." If she had any friends that is. Every pae was friendly here in the tree, but yet she somehow managed not to make any friends.
So when he offered to stick around, she lit up like a bonfire. Real pae interaction, for the first time in weeks. Everyone was understandably busy or too depressed, so she relished the opportunity to really talk.
After all, talking to oneself too much was a slippery slope. "Sure!" Did she sound a little too excited with that? Probably. Oops.

Looking away from the hole Myst met Amarie's eye "Amarie? that is a very nice name, its great to meet you, I'd shake your hand, but we seem to have those both filled at the moment" He looked down at the tools he was holding. "Well its about the act of helping right? not about how much you do by yourself."
Myst felt relieved he hadn't been turned away immidiately, and encouraged by the fact that amarie seemed happy to be talking to him "Wait here just a moment" Jogging off quickly towards the repairs to drop off the tools he returned only a few moment later. "Ok ready to go"

She smiled brightly at his compliment before chuckling about their hand situation. He was a very nice faun, and seemingly just as excited about the prospect of talking as she was. She happily nodded when he told her to wait, content to stand still for a few moments.
As she waited though, her eyes traveled along the ceilling and walls. Even here there was small bits of tell tale damage. Cracks, chunks of wood gone, jagged edges. She wondered how many faun were hurt in the blast.
Her depressing thoughts were quickly cut off with his return. "Great! If you want to take one of the buckets, we could shake properly." She spoke with a laugh, no hint of the sad thoughts she had just seconds prior. "You're one of those Gargoyle faun, right?" Amarie asked as she resumed walking.Elaisa_angelic blaugh if you're confused, Myst is not a gargoyle pae. She only arrived to the Tree a few months ago, and met her first winged faun then. He was a gargoyle, but he didn't explain it (obviously didn't know she was clueless) so she thinks all winged faun are gargoyles now

Arriving back Myst caught his breath for a moment after his little jog, flying was much more his thing, but recently he had found out losing track of your thoughts whilst airborn wasn't a good situation.
He nodded at the Idea Amarie had about the buckets and held out one hand to take a bucket, and the other to shake her hand, both at the same time. Realising what he did he laughed lightly "I'm sorry one at a time would work a lot better of course!" he took one of the buckets and then offered his hand again "there we go."
Joining her as she started to make her way down, Amarie's question startled him a bit "A Gargoyle faun? No, I've heard of those, but I don't think I know any of them personally"Tartara Seabreeze Ahh that explains a lot, lol as far as I was told he isn't any different kind right? just a winged Faun or did I overlook info?

When he reached out with both hands she blinked confusedly as she had no available hand to shake yet, then laughed heartily with the male as they both realized the mistake. It went much smoother after he took the bucket, her hand sliding into his to give a friendly shake. "Much better. It's really nice to meet you." When she took her hand back she used it to lightly glide on the wall next to them as they walked down.
"Oh? Really? I guess it was just him." Now that she thought about it, he did have different wings than Myst. A leathery bat sort of wing with a ton of holes. Perhaps there were different classes of winged faun? Perplexing thought...
"I'm originally an outsider, so I'm a little clueless about the culture here. I hope I didn't offend you."Elaisa_angelic You're completely right XD Other than having an advantage over other faun by being able to fly, you're the same.

Happy to have shaken hands and being officially introduced Myst felt pretty comfortable talking to his new companion, he had never been really social but the last weeks had been extreem even for him, Maybe if he didn't scare off Amarie they could become friends.
"Oh no you totally didn't offend me, I usually don't even think of having wings as being different, for me they have always been there." he told her kindly. but his minds had registered something else Outsider....... He shook his head to get any dark feelings out, Amarie was a Faun like him..... nothing else "Have you been enjoying life here so far? though this isn't what its always like, I mean since..." He simply pointed up.
Noticing Amarie trailing her hand on the side of the wall made him smile and remember "I used to do that when I was younger, You might not believe me but i was actually scared of hights for a little while growing up." Tartara Seabreeze 3nodding thats what I thought, but good to be sure.

Well that was a relief. Sometimes she found herself a little hoof in mouth. "Oh yes! I mean, I joined a few months ago, so I know what it was like before...the attack." It was hard for her to say it, and she wasn't even a native to the tree. She couldn't imagine how hard it was for faun who had lived there their whole lives. "I'm sure though with time and hard work, we'll get everything back up and running. And Chief Rais will find the culprit. I just know it." Truth be told she didn't even really know too much about said culprit, just rumors as she herself didn't see what happened. A demon though. That much was certain.
Amarie blinked when he called attention to her hand gliding. She didn't even conciously register it, just sort of happened. The fauness chuckled softly. "Really? With your wings? How did you get over it?" This was nice. A lovely, easy going conversation.elaisa_angelic It feels weird to be wishing ill on my own pae XDDD I'm the owner of the pae who blew up the tree.

Myst nodded "its good that you at least got a feel of how things normally are around here, anyone returning now would probably be confused" Somehow he had never much thought about Fauns that lived outside of Laisidhiel, the whole idea felt foreign to him. "Yes I am sure Chief Rais will deal with this situation as swiftly as possible, though i must say I still have a hard time understanding why..... but I probably don't know enough about the outside to understand."
Her question brought back his happy side "Yes even with the wings, I didn't even dare to look down the tree from my parents nook, and trust me their nook wasn't even that far up" For a moment he seemed to laugh silently at himself "How I got over my fear? I fell."Tartara Seabreeze Haha super fun, being able to play on both sides of an event.

It was hard herself to imagine why anyone would want to hurt their home. The only answer she could come up with was that some pae were just evil.
But what if that pae had a good reason? She couldn't fathom what reason could possibly be good enough to risk the lives of innocent faun, children especially. Amarie shook her head of the thoughts. They were circular as she held no answers, and would do little good aside from darkening her mood.
Their other conversation was far more pleasant. She gasped slightly as he mentioned falling. "Oh no! Were you badly hurt?" Obviously he was alright now, but falling when a kid must have been scary. She turned left to start walking out of the Tree now that they had reached ground floor.
