I WANT TO FEEL THE PAIN // stargazing

The bump against her shoulder was a gentle reminder of what she'd just been thinking about, and it almost made her a little sad. Of course, she wouldn't allow that. There was no reason for her to be sad. She would take what she could get, as odd as it was to be thinking so hard about it.

"The rain has never been a great friend to me. It has always made it rather difficult to get around comfortably." she said softly, a hint of joking in her tone. She lifted her still functioning wing just a bit to display her meaning. Getting caught in the rain had never been a pleasant experience for her. At least, not before Tanglewood. It might be easier now than it had been back then. She didn't have to worry about finding shelter, about getting sick, about what food she'd have to find. Maybe... Just maybe she could care for it now. "The sound of it, though... is rather nice. I can admit that. It's wonderful for days you were originally going to spend inside, I suppose."

The mention of a bonfire made her let out a soft chuckle, moving her already lifted wing to bump against Leroy's side before tucking it back into herself. "If we recreate our bonfire, I think we may have to switch our roles from last time. I could decorate and provide the meals while you collect wood. Still... It's not a bad idea. It could be quite fun to do again."
