Aru watched her, and after a little while, he took her hand. "It's okay if you don't readily see everything. It takes practice, like sword fighting and archery. In time you'll get it." He smiled reassuringly.

"I couldn't smell anything. Except dirt." Avery murmurs, barely audible, sighs "I hope so."

"Don't worry," Aru began to lead her again. "Let's get back to Zay. He may be waking up soon."

"Don't worry. Let's get back to Zay. He may be waking up soon."
"Very well." Avery murmurs, gaze growing sad, forces a smile to her face "You remind me of him."

"Very well. You remind me of him."
"Who, Zay?" Aru looked at her, curious. "How so?" The feathers around his face rustled with the anticipation, as he had never been compared to someone else before.

"Who, Zay?"
"No, not-" voice faltering, she shakes her head, soft sigh, half lie "Yes. You remind me of X'Zayvean."
"How so?"
"Because you'd both do anything to help me, even though I'm a stranger. You're both kindhearted, even though you hide it in one way or another."

Hearing the hitch in her voice, he looked down. "You don't have to lie, you know," he said gently. "Who was it really?"

"You don't have to lie, you know. Who was it really?"
Hesitating, her head turns away from the sound of his voice, swallows thickly, sighs "My brother."

"My brother."
Stepping through the underbrush, Aru led her throw the clearing towards the cabin. "What was his name?"

What was his name?"
Inhaling shakily, she slowly smiles at the memory of him, gaze distant "Trystan."

"Trystan."
Aru smiled then. "Tell me about him." He led her through the threshold and let go of her hand, walking to the table and setting the rabbits on the table.

"Tell me about him."
"I... Don't really remember him." she murmurs quietly, gaze wavering "All I remember is a hand."

"I... Don't really remember him. All I remember is a hand."
"Oh." Aru murmured, looking down. "Sorry, Miss Avery..." He turned as he heard the bed creak under Zay's weight, though Zay doesn't wake yet.

"Oh. Sorry, Miss Avery..."
"It's quite all right, Aru. I was just young at the time is all." Avery murmurs, sniffing, small frown when she doesn't smell smoke "I need to start a new fire."

"It's quite all right, Aru. I was just young at the time is all. I need to start a new fire."
Aru looked back at her, trotting over to the fire. "I got it." He smiled lightly, gathering the wood. "Zay sounds like he's stirring."
