[attr="class","post"] [attr="class","text-lyrics"]I'll sing it forever Another day, another flight out to Arecia woods. Cadence was spending more time here than she was at her home in Dagos, and it did wonders to brighten the mood of the already-cheerful bird (Or perhaps it was the romance in her heart?). She always returned, though; the dirty streets of the slums were home to her more than any place, and so many people depended on her. But she no longer felt guilty for taking some time for herself; Geno was adamant that they were okay, and that she take time to enjoy life. She had a hard time arguing with the stubborn old man (whom she loved dearly). She always took new routes through Arecia when she could; there was so much to explore, and it made the long trip to Fiamma’s hut more interesting. Besides; exploring was how she found that neat book in the first place! Who knew what else was lying out there for her to find? There was a chill in the afternoon air, but the temperature was mild this week, and the shining sun provided enough warmth to keep her comfortable. Beyond the cover of the trees, though, the winds were not favorable today, and she found herself tiring a bit faster than normal. She landed on the low branch of a large tree and hung her messenger bag on another nearby branch. She found a secure place to rest her violin case and sighed, plopping her butt down on the bark and kicking her talons like a child on a swingset. She smiled; this was a very vibrant and beautiful part of the woods. She twisted her small frame until she was leaning with her back against the trunk of the tree, still leaving one talon to dangle freely. If she wasn’t careful, she could fall asleep here! She hummed a little tune to keep herself awake, which became words, which in turn became an impromptu song. It wasn’t long before she had her violin out and ready, bowing along notes for her little improvised tune. The notes were light, long, and lazy. She always loved the acoustics of the forest; it was different from a stage, and different from the city streets. Every song seemed more peaceful without cars zipping by in the background. The song, too, was nonsense (some Surajan words that Hadiyya had taught her), but they were sung fully. The bird’s voice would be home in the grandest of temples; there was no wavering or cracking, no faltering nor stumbling, nothing except confidence and talent brought on from a lifetime of practice, mingled with an affinity for vocals passed on by blood and magic. Her angelic birdsong filled the space between the trees as she closed her eyes and lost herself in her tune.

"Stewart no! Don't eat that!" Lelianna giggled a little while she scolded the sloth crawling towards one of her slowly growing flowers. Carefully she hefted the little guy and plopped him onto her back. It took a few seconds, but she eventually felt his little claws find purchase over her shoulders and around her midriff. Sporting her new sloth backpack, Lelianna went back to what she was doing. And what was that exactly? Why, tending to her enormous garden of course!
With Winter finally starting to settle down, Lelianna would once again be planning on making additions to the now well populated region of plants that surrounded her house. From peach trees to blueberry bushes, and begonias to ivy; Lelianna had managed to fashion a little haven for a grand plethora of wildlife to grow even. All from her uncannily good gardening skills, and quite some help from the forest too. So long as she kept anything she brought in from getting out of hand, Arecia Woods didn't seem to mind her little wild spot. Even creating a few spots in the foliage up above to give certain vegetation much needed sunlight.
Now that the season was transitioning, Lelianna went through to coax some of her wildlife awake. And, of course, make good with some of the new seeds she'd gotten. Occasionally things needed replanting, after all. Which was how Lelianna (and Stewart) found their way towards the outer edges of her garden. It was there that Lelianna suddenly heard a noise.
She didn't know of any animal yet that could play a violin.
Slowly getting up from where she'd been crouching on the ground, Lelianna grabbed her staff and went out to investigate. It was....really beautiful actually. She hardly ever (read: never) got to hear anyone play or sing since she lived as a, y'know, hermit. Oh, and did this person sing! It was amazing beyond anything Lelianna had heard (although that's not saying too much). Blending in almost perfectly with the forest, it carried well through the trees and undergrowth. Lelianna could feel the woods' approval as a sort of dull hum in the back of her head. Finally she managed to find the source: a girl sitting by herself playing idly. Fortunately enough her eyes were closed and Lelianna's approach had been pretty silent. The hermit really didn't want the girl's song to stop so soon. So Lelianna leaned against a tree a little off to the side and listened in. Soon enough she'd closed her own eyes with a faint smile, merely appreciating the song. It was a wonderful moment.
Unfortunately Lelianna didn't feel Stewart's claws start to give way until they'd completely disappeared.
Thud. "Wha- Stewart!" Drawn out of the faint trance she'd sort of been falling into, Lelianna turned to find her little companion on the ground. "Oh gosh!" He wasn't hurt, right?! Crouching over him and worrying like a mother hen, Lelianna (and Stewart) had probably successfully ruined the once perfect moment.

[attr="class","post"] [attr="class","text-lyrics"]I'll sing it forever Cadence’s eyes shot open and her body flinched with surprise from the sudden, unfamiliar voice. The music halted abruptly while she looked around for the source; she was used to meeting people in strange places, but the unexpected noise gave her a start that sent her heart skipping a beat. She leaned from her position in the tree and looked around the area, until her eyes fell on the woman barely visible from behind a nearby tree. “Hello?” She called out. She placed her violin back in its case and hopped down from the tree, gliding most of the way towards the woman. Her talons made barely a sound when her light frame landed on the soft earth. She tilted her head and smiled at the woman. “Hello!” She said again, with a friendly wave. “Ah, was I bothering you? Oh! Who’s that?” She regarded the grounded animal that she was fawning over, stepping over to the pair. “Aw! What a cutie! Is he okay? Oh, and hi! I’m Cadence. Sorry if I was being too loud; I don’t see people around in the woods so I don’t usually worry about bugging anyone. Do you live out here?” She was in full chatter mode, happily talking away to the stranger without realizing how much she spoke. She had singer’s lungs and was an air magi on top of it, so she could go on without a new breath for quite some time. Fortunately for everyone who talked to her, her curiosity was as vibrant as her excitement, and so she paused long enough for others to speak in order to sate that side of her.

Fortunately enough for Lelianna, Stewart was perfectly fine. A little confused, but the moment Lelianna picked him up again, he reached out and once again started winding his arms around the girl. Lelianna had to smile, but all of the sudden a voice piped up right next to her. She hadn't even noticed the music had stopped abruptly and the girl had spoken directly to her. "WAH!" Lelianna yelped, jolting a bit before turning. Oh jeez it was just the girl. Luckily enough she seemed to be friendly, so Lelianna took a breath to relax.
"Oh no no, i-it's ok!" Lelianna assured her. "Honestly I was kinda worried I'd be bothering you." Especially since she had essentially been, y'know, creeping on this random girl only a few second ago. "This is Stewart though. Stewart say hi!" Looking down at the little sloth, Lelianna watched as he slowly turned his head towards Cadence. There were a few moments of curious staring before he turned back towards the redhead carrying him and ever so slowly stretched a claw out to tap Lelianna on the cheek. Seeing the guy's little antics was doing wonders to calm Lelianna down from being spotted when she'd intended to stay towards the shadows while the strange girl performed.
Which immediately brought her to her next comment.
"You have such a beautiful voice though!" Lelianna breathed in clear awe. The girl was fantastic, even Lelianna who had little experience with musicians and singers could tell that much. "I've....I've never heard something like that." She really, really hadn't. But then she was reminded that she'd been asked a question. "Oh! Um, but yeah. I live out here. You're ah....You're actually really close to my house truthfully. I was in my garden when I heard you. Since I, ah, figured bears couldn't play the violin I thought it must've been a person." She joked lightly, laughing a little. "I'm Lelianna, by the way. I'm really sorry if I had interrupted you practicing or anything....I was just really curious." She added on with a little sheepish smile.

[attr="class","post"] [attr="class","text-lyrics"]I'll sing it forever “Ack!” Cadence yelped in response to Lelianna’s, jumping back a little bit, stumbling on her awkward talons, and bumping lightly into a small tree behind her. Once it was clear that they were both embarrassed, she laughed to lighten the mood. “No, I didn’t even know you were there! You wouldn’t have bothered me, promise. I’m a performer; it’d be pretty silly if I didn’t like people watching me!” She ended her sentence with a tiny giggle, which sounded like a human laughing with a bird’s chirp in the background. Cadence leaned forward, her hands on her skinny, birdlike thighs, beaming at the curious animal named Stewart. “Hi Stewart!” She said in a singsong voice. She laughed at his little boop on the woman’s cheek. “He’s so cute! Have you been friends for long?” She lit up and put her hands to her cheek at the compliment. “Thank you! That’s so nice of you to say! But still, I’m sorry for being so loud near your house. I was taking a break from flying; it’s a long way from Dagos.” She waved away Lelianna’s worries. “No, it’s not interruption for me, don’t worry! I was just playing notes to play them. But it’s nice to meet you, Lelianna! And that’s a pretty name, I like it.” Cadence didn’t lack for bubbling excitement, especially when it came to making new friends. There was no sense of awkwardness coming from the bird; she spoke as easily as if she had known Lelianna for years. She looked at Stewart in the same way she would look upon a baby she was trying to make smile. And then the lightbulb in her head went off, dim as it was. “Oh, one second!” She said. Without waiting for a reply, she took off into the air again. A few powerful flaps later and she was back in the trees, gathering her messenger bag and putting her violin in her case. Once she had all that, she glided back down towards Lelianna. Her eyes went skyward as she fished around in her messenger bag… “Aha!” She said, and produced a red apple from the bag. She held it out in front of her, palm open, as if presenting some important gift. “Does… does he like apples?” If so, she would gladly hand it over for Stewart (or Lelianna, on his behalf) to take. If she said no, she would simply shrug. “Aw, well, do you? You can have it!” It was clear that Cadence delighted in giving gifts and was not going to take no for an answer. In the Dagos slums, food was a priceless gift; there were so many starving that those who shared their meager bounties made fast friends with those who didn’t have the means to care for themselves.

Well it looks like they managed to startle each other at least. She could appreciate the girl laughing a little to lighten the mood. Plus Lelianna perked up when Cadence mentioned she was a performer. "Wow, really?" It was rare enough for people to wander into Arecia, but an honest to gods performer? It was basically a miracle. No wonder the girl had sounded so fantastic when she'd been singing!
Stewart slowly moved his claw to boop Lelianna on the nose before he began to wrap his arms around Lelianna's shoulders again. Lelianna offered the little guy a warm affectionate smile before looking at Cadence. "It's been a while now. I found him around Haven when he was just a baby." How exactly Stewart had gotten there was still a mystery to Lelianna. There had to be more to it, but even visiting the town hadn't really turned up much evidence for her to use. Whatever the case, the little guy lived quite happily with her now.
Besides, Cadence was apologizing for some reason.
"Wha- Oh no, please don't be sorry! It's rare enough getting visitors out in Arecia, and getting ones that can sing so well is even more rare!" Lelianna said quickly. She had not minded in the least (if her snooping to find and listen more clearly had been any indication). Though Lelianna did catch on to one fact that surprised her a bit 9other than the compliment to her name, which definitely colored her cheeks). "You're from Davos?" She questioned. Although it made sense if Cadence said she was a performer. She couldn't imagine too many performers living in Haven. It just didn't seem too big of a town, or a place someone could get pretty famous. "Oh! And it's nice to meet you too Cadence." Lelianna added in quickly.
Man this girl talked fast! At least it left Lelianna little time to feel awkward.
But then she was straight up gone; back in the trees. Lelianna blinked and stood there kind of unsurely. This was....a rather energetic girl. But honestly it was kind of adorable, and again she seemed really sweet. Sweet enough to return and offer Stewart an apple. Lelianna gently and gratefully took it from the girl, as Stewart was kind of slow on the uptake to turn his head towards the air magi. "W-wow ah.....thank you! This is so nice of you..." Really, it was a marvel she'd found someone this name. heck, nearly all the people she'd been meeting lately we super kind!
Was the forest secretly pulling nice people inside to force Lelianna to socialize? She wouldn't put it past Arecia.
Lelianna waited patiently for Stewart to get his little claws on the fruit and start eating before she looked back at Cadence with a bright smile. "Thanks again. Ah, can I ask what brought you to the woods today? It's always so rare to find people, especially ones that aren't from Haven."

[attr="class","post"] [attr="class","text-lyrics"]I'll sing it forever She nodded- really. “I’m not famous or anything- not yet!” She puffed out her tiny chest. “But I will be!” She deflated once she mentioned her relation with Stewart, exhaling a “D’aww” at picturing the little guy as a baby. Oh he must have been the cutest! It was strange, though, that she had never seen any animal like it in the woods before, but then again she didn’t live out here so for all she knew there was a whole colony of them in the unexplored regions of Arecia. She simply smiled and tilted her head at Lelianna’s compliments. “Yes, I’m from Dagos. I mean, I wasn’t born there, but I moved there years ago. There’s a lot of places where I can play my music, so it’s a really good city for me!” The part about Dagos being a poverty-ridden rat’s den was left out; Cadence first and foremost saw Dagos as a city of opportunity. She had family there, a home, and memories; with all that, Dagos didn’t seem to be that horrible. With enough help and kindness, even the bad parts could be made bearable. She lit up when Stewart (slowly) put his claws on the apple and began to eat. She wasn’t sure if he liked apples when she offered it, so she was glad he seemed to enjoy it. It took a few seconds to register that Lelianna had asked her a question. “Oh, I’ve only been to Haven once! I’m visiting ah,” Cadence fumbled with words for a moment. It still felt odd to say, but it left a nice feeling in her. Her voice grew softer. “My girlfriend, Fiamma. She, ah, lives out in the woods, too, in a cabin, closer to the lake.” She felt her cheeks flush a darker brown as a bashful smile appeared on her lips.

Wait this girl wasn't famous yet? That honestly baffled Lelianna. Cadence had such a fantastic voice though! Surely Lelianna wasn't the only one to think that, right? She almost wanted to say something on it, but again their topic changed so rapidly that it completely slipped Lelianna's mind before she had a chance to address it. Stewart was still a nice topic though, so Lelianna didn't mind it much. The little guy had been a much needed friend for her during those first few years she'd decided to live in Arecia.
But again, topic change: this time onto Dagos.
Lelianna was actually genuinely curious to hear about the city. There was little she knew about the whole of Ethea, considering she didn't actually grow up here. "Oh! Well that sounds lovely! I'm sure you'll be able to play plenty of place, and be famous too!" Hey, Lelianna actually remembered that from earlier! But she was being honest, and at least managed to get that out before the focus went to Stewart. He appeared to be enjoying the apple, which only made Lelianna smile more.
But then came another topic change by Lelianna this time. This time it was Cadence who stumbled with her words a little. Which was (in a strange way) a nice change. Lelianna immediately cooed when she heard Cadence's reasoning. "Awwww, that's so sweet!" I mean this girl had come out into the forest by herself just to visit someone; that really was sweet. Though it did raise some questions. "I didn't know someone lived by the lake! Though I guess that, ah, sort of the purpose of being a hermit..." Lelianna trailed off for a moment before coming back to present. "Still that's very nice of you. I'm not holding you up now, am I?" Yeah even for dense Lelianna, she noticed how Cadence's voice changed at the mention of this fellow hermit. It was....well frankly it was adorable.

[attr="class","post"] [attr="class","text-lyrics"]I'll sing it forever “Yeah! I’ve been making a name for myself in Dagos, little by little. It… can be hard,” she said. Magi, even in Dagos, had a hard time getting recognized. Her current biggest performance supporter told her that because of the way people viewed magi, it was risky to support them. And yet… he was going to do just that, in a big way. “But soon I’m going to sing at a… casino! That’s the word for it.” She puffed out her chest, proud to remember the small detail. If Lelianna didn’t know what that was, she would do her best to explain (“It’s… like a big building with a lot of lights? And people go there to play games! They’re popular in Dagos!”) even though she herself had no clue beyond the gentle half-explanations told to her by a man who didn’t want to ruin her optimistic view of the world. “One day, I’ll be in Felici, singing in a great big concert hall!” She stretched her arms out wide to show just how great and big this theoretical hall would be. Fortunately, her attention went to Stewart before she could repeat herself over again. And then Lelianna changed topics. Cadence’s eyes stayed on her own feet, claws digging bashfully into the dirt. “Hhh, yeah, I mean, thank you,” she said. It was rare for Cadence to feel bashful, and rarer still for her to falter her words. Fiamma seemed to have that effect on her, though, even without being around. “She, ah, lives in a cabin, over there, yeah. I think she likes to be alone, or, at least tries to like it, um…” Goddess, she felt like she was burning up like a fire magi. And then thinking about fire magi made her think of Fiamma all over again, and so the vicious cycle was established. She buried her face in her hands with a smile. “Ah, sorry,” she said. She looked up at Lelianna with a dark-flushed face. “She’s really nice. If you’re over there, you should say hello! I think she would like the company. She seems tough but she’s a real sweetheart!” She shook her head. “No, no, I’m taking a break from flying anyway! I’m happy to stay and chat. Ah, do you also live out here alone? I mean, besides Stewart?” [attr="class","text-lyrics"]Always on my lips you will dance so sweetly the leviathan @ GS & BRSW[newclass=.icon-bg]padding:10px;border:1px solid #000;height:100px;width:100px;margin-right:10px;[/newclass][newclass=.iconhere]-moz-transition: all 0.9s ease-in-out;-webkit-transition: all 0.9s ease-in-out;-o-transition: all 0.9s ease-in-out;[/newclass][newclass=.iconheres]-moz-transition: all 0.9s ease-in-out;-webkit-transition: all 0.9s ease-in-out;-o-transition: all 0.9s ease-in-out;opacity: 0;[/newclass][newclass=.iconheres:hover]-moz-transition: all 0.9s ease-in-out;-webkit-transition: all 0.9s ease-in-out;-o-transition: all 0.9s ease-in-out;opacity:1;[/newclass][newclass=.notestxt]padding-top:20px;font:small-caps 10px 'Times New Roman',serif;color:#fff;text-align:justify;padding:10px;overflow:auto;[/newclass][newclass=.text-lyrics]display:inline-block;font: italic 9px/100% Times New Roman,serif;text-align:center;letter-spacing:1px;width:80%;border-bottom:1px solid #000;line-height:0.1em;margin:10px 0 20px;margin-left:30px;[/newclass][newclass=.text-lyrics span]background:#fff;padding:0 10px;[/newclass] [newclass=.post]font:11px Times New Roman,serif;color:#1c1c1c;padding:0px 20px 0px 0px;height:350px;width:330px;text-align:justify;overflow:auto;line-height:130%;position:relative;margin-top:-400px;margin-left:100px;[/newclass][newclass=.post::-webkit-scrollbar-track]border:1px solid #000;background-color:#fff;[/newclass][newclass=.post::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb]background-color:#000;[/newclass][newclass=.post::-webkit-scrollbar]width:4px;background-color:#fff;[/newclass] |

Lelianna's face lit up with her smile. "That's awesome! Hey well, good luck when you do! I'm sure you'll do amazing though." Yeah no, Lelianna had no idea what a casino was. Perks of hermitude, yeah? However Cadence seemed genuinely proud and happy about that fact, so surely Lelianna could at least support her with enthusiasm right? Even if she had no idea what the hell either of them were talking about; even with Cadence's kind explanation.
It was the thought that counted, right?
There was a brief mention of Felici, which Lelianna actually did remember a little, but much like some of the other topics in their conversation it whooshed by. Now the birb girl was staring down at the ground intensely. The way she got so bashful over the subject was really really cute. Lelianna couldn't wipe the smile off her face at the sight if she tried. Though she did listen. I mean, Cadence was talking about someone else who lived in Arecia! How could she not be interested in a subject like that?
It meant she wasn't completely alone out here.
Lelianna blinked and swiftly waved off Cadence's apology. "No need to apologize! Honest! I'm glad to hear about someone else out here. Maybe I will visit, i-if she doesn't mind of course." Again, hermits were usually hermits for a reason. Even if Cadence said this girl was nice, it was her girlfriend. Of course she'd be nice to Cadence! There was no telling what reaction Lelianna would get instead. But there were more questions so Lelianna got out of her head. "Oh! Well..." How should she react to this one? "Um, kinda. I mean, I don't really see other magi out her unless I go to Haven. Or humans for that matter, though I almost never see them at all." Which wasn't too much of a loss. "So I guess....in a way. there's no one to talk to exactly..." As she trailed off, she realized that her answer seemed kind of depressing. Lelianna hurried to fix that. "B-but I do have company! I know the animals around here and the forest itself is always around." Even now she could feel that low hum in the back of her head; signalling the forest's attention was vaguely on her. "So I guess, technically, I'm never alone. Not really."
There, that sounded much less depressing!

[attr="class","post"] [attr="class","text-lyrics"]I'll sing it forever Cadence smiled and waved away Lelianna’s concerns. “She needs to be more social, if you ask me,” she said with a petite giggle. “I’ll tell her about you when I visit her! I’m sure she’d be glad to have someone who can visit her more than I can. Really, I don’t know how she does it! If I didn’t have anyone to talk to, I’d … Well, I don’t know! But I wouldn’t be happy, that’s for sure.” As if that needed to be said. Cadence’s expression went from unsure to glad once more- Lelianna’s recovery worked in easing the girl. “Yeah! It’s kind of like Dagos, then, huh? Like, there’s always people around, but instead of people, you have animals and trees! I wish I could talk to them.” She tilted her head up at a tree. What would it tell her if it could talk? Would it be mad about her perching on them to rest and sleep or would it like the company? She hadn’t thought about it before. “I run into people in the woods all the time! I bet you’ll find more people if you keep looking!” Cadence hummed and tapped her foot. Her brain was looking for more things to talk about. The dim lightbulb in her head actually managed to go off, and she snapped her fingers. “Oh! You said you live nearby, right? Can you show me your garden? I’d love to see it! There aren’t many flowers or trees in the city, except by the temples.” Cadence was bouncing in excitement with her hands folded in front of her and eyes bright. Gosh, when was the last time she’d seen a proper garden? Like, a real good one, made by an earth magi? Oh, she hoped for a yes from her new friend!

► Ha ha yeah! Not having anyone to talk to! Like Lelianna would know anything about that! Ha ha....
But she was genuinely happy to learn about another Arecia dweller. Any chance to have regular contact with someone who would simultaneously know what it was like living in the wilds would be fantastic. Although Cadence was amazing to talk with too. And they more they talked, the more Lelianna found herself actually relaxing. That was a miracle all in itself. So she actually didn't have any problems trying to explain how she, uh, "communicated" with Arecia. "Well it's not....It's not like actual words honestly." Lelianna frowned a little. It was always a bit odd to explain. "It's more of a feeling really. Like...a sense? I might not be able to understand what Arecia's saying, but I can feel the fact it's addressing me and get a general feeling for what it wants." Wait was that helpful at all? Gods Lelianna was bad at this. "It almost feels like a...a tug or something. Kind of like someone's insistently tapping my shoulder. Or slapping me on the ass." The last bit was muttered under Lelianna's breath with a tiny glare towards the nearest tree. There was a low creaking noise that sounded from the surrounding woods. To Lelianna's ears it sounded suspiciously like the woods were laughing.
The snap from Cadence drew Lelianna out of her little standstill with a tree. Mentioning her garden did wonders to her expression; she immediately lit up with a huge smile. "Really?!" Lelianna asked, perhaps with a bit more enthusiasm than was needed. Practically-- okay actually no one but her had ever entered her garden before. Having someone into it who sincerely seemed excited was completely new to the redhead. She couldn't help but be a little happy to see what someone else thought. "I-I , uh, yes! I'd love to show you it!" She answered with a quick nod of her head. Oh boy this was awesome! "It's just over here! You really were actually pretty close." If Cadence would follow Lelianna, she really needed no further encouragement. After putting on her Stewart "back pack," Lelianna would head back the way she had appeared.
As they reached the outer edges of Lelianna's garden, it would be abundantly apparent that somebody loved their plants.
Even with everything just now starting to wake up after the winter, Lelianna's garden was massive and thick with all sorts of variation. Though they weren't bursting with color just yet: buttercups, bromeliads, forget-me-nots, junipers, cherry trees, peach trees, maples, ivy, blueberry bushes; you name it and the plant was most likely growing somewhere in the expanse of land Lelianna cared for. Though much of it was still green, only just now starting to wake up from the deep sleep of winter or growing from being freshly planted. And unlike a typical garden, Lelianna's ran wild and filled nearly every space except for the path Lelianna now led Cadence through.
As for the magi herself, Lelianna had completely relaxed. her stance was far more confident and at ease, and she held her head high with a smile on her face. She eventually did pick a spot to stop at, somewhere in the thick of her garden. "I've been working on this for....well eight years now." Lelianna said, placing a hand on a nearby apple tree's trunk. Her words came off fondly. "It's...well kind of a gift I think from the woods. I had a lot of help from it making all this."

[attr="class","post"] [attr="class","text-lyrics"]I'll sing it forever Cadence followed that thought pretty easily, actually. “I know what you mean,” she said, nodding along with Lelianna’s words. “It’s like… well, when I get really into a song, like, really into it… It’s like I can see the music. It’s hard to explain, too. It’s not… the words, or the notes, but the emotion behind it. When I lose myself in a song, it’s like the feeling of it speaks to me, almost like something I can touch. It’s… kind of like what you’re saying, I think. I guess it’s probably magic, huh?” Cadence’s excitement doubled at Lelianna’s excitement, and she followed her like a child who was promised they were going to the park on the first day of spring. She audibly gasped at the sight of it. “Oh wow!” She said, and off she went. She jumped from flower patch to flower patch, examining the start of colors, smelling them, flying up to trees, inspecting vines… All the while she said things such as “oh wow what’s this?” or “These are so pretty!” without actually giving Lelianna any time to reply before she zipped off once more. Goodness! It was so large, so green, so… amazing! What would it look like in full bloom? The idea made her heart skip. She was so used to Dagos: dirty streets, the stench of pollution, the towering buildings, the glum, gray colors… Never had she expected to see anything so lively, even in the woods. “You did all this? That’s amazing! You’re amazing!” She called out, perched in the apple tree above Lelianna. She chirped with excitement; truly she did, at this moment, look like an oversized bird singing in a tree. “Wow! How big is your garden?! Eight years is a long time!” This was beautiful, plain and simple. It grew wild, but with an order, like a fast, jumpy song. Oh, she hoped Fiamma would come and visit here; she would simply be beside herself at the sights! And the kids, too; oh, if only she could take everyone she knew out here to see the most beautiful sight she’s seen in Arecia to date. “I can tell you really like gardening,” Cadence said. Her smile hadn’t faded an inch since they first entered the garden proper. “But you live out here by yourself? Nobody visits you? Well! That’s not right!

► By the gods, did somebody actually understand her?
This had never happened to Lelianna before. She stood there frankly stunned for a second before vigorously nodding her head. Someone actually got it! She didn't sound absolutely crazy! Yes! "Yes! That's really close. Wow. Usually nobody can really understand what I mean when I try to explain that." It wasn't for lack of trying; Lelianna just wasn't that great with words and this subject was exactly easy for her to explain. So it was the perfect recipe for a disaster of miscommunication and failed explanations.
Lelianna was, surprisingly, not the best with social skills if you couldn't tell.
However Cadence was making it pretty easy for her to relax. Sure, the girl talked faster than a brook churning with extra rainwater in the spring. However everything she'd said so far had been nice. Plus she seemed to absolutely love Lelianna's garden; that was a wonderful way to get on the antlered magi's good side fast. Smiling wide, Lelianna let Cadnece explore to her heart's content. So long as she didn't injure any of the plants, or draw the ire of some of the more animalistic denizens that camped out in her garden (they're friendly, honest!). Fortunately the few that did show themselves were small and less inherently scary. Though knowing Lelianna's luck, Skjorn was waiting around the corner to jump her.
Deciding to take a sit under the tree Lelianna leaned back into it and hummed with thought. How big was her garden? A sheepish look started to grow on her face as she calculated that. Eight years was a long time. "It's....uhhhhh.....p-pretty big." Yeah, pretty big was one way to put it. Terribly enormous might've been more accurate. "I've had eight years to work on it sooooo....It may have gotten...Bigger than I was originally planning. B-But hey! Arecia's only been helping me so far so, i mean, I guess I can't be doing anything bad." Right? The woods had helped her from the very beginning when she started to fill in the gaps. it even shifted so of the thicket's original roots just to make patches available to the antlered magi so she could put in vegetation that particularly needed sunlight. And since it had never tried to stop her....
Lelianna just...never stopped.
For eight years.
Lelianna's sheepishness was quickly dispelled though. Blinking she craned her head upward (careful about her antlers) to stare at the air magi. "R-really?" It would be so...odd to actually have anything close to frequent visitors. Not to mention awesome But still, she'd gone eight years without much social contact other than her random visits to Haven. The possibility to actually have visitors...no, friends felt somewhat alien to her. Yet she couldn't deny the way Cadence's words made her brighten up tremendously. Even her hair was responding to it; tiny bright flowers sprouting here and there in a wide variation of types. "Y-you don't have to but...Y-you're always welcome to stop by if you, ah, really want!" Damn, did that come off as high-pitched and excited as she thought it did?

[attr="class","post"] [attr="class","text-lyrics"]I'll sing it forever Fortunately, Cadence’s childlike excitement did not translate to childlike disrespect. She was careful not to wreck any plants or snap any branches. She continued to jump around, “wowww”-ing at every patch of unfamiliar flowers, every tall fruit-bearing tree, every bouquet-like arrangement of wild flowers growing together. It was… unbelievable, really. Especially to the city-dwelling bird. On a thick branch above Lelianna, Cadence loosely gripped her talons in a circle and swung down, now hanging upside-down like some sort of bird-bat. Curiously, wild birds were grouping around in the trees now, mostly corvids. Cadence whistled their chattering songs back to them; they were smart birds, and remembered people who were kind to them. And Cadence always shared her things with the animals of Arecia. “The woods must like you then!” Cadence declared. “Obviously it likes the garden and what you’re doing with it! I mean, it wouldn’t grow so well if it didn’t like you, right?” She blinked back at Lelianna, and tilted her head. “Well, yeah, of course? I wouldn’t have said it if I didn’t mean it.” She couldn’t help but giggle at the upside-down woman. She was definitely funny! “I can take this way whenever I visit Fiamma! And if you’re ever in Dagos, you can stay with me, too!” She extended her wings to full span and with a subtle gesture, directed a quick, strong gust of wind to push her back up into a proper position for a perched bird. There were a few crows sharing her branch, and they cawed at Cadence, who whistled back to them. “I think the birds like it here, too.
