idyllfields
stars did fall
it had been quite some time since idyll had last run into bai shi. at the time they had just been a rogue, wandering alongside the clans. they had also not been a dragon when they had last met, thus without any sort of ability to see past the physical appearance, idyll would have little to no idea who this creature was.
what they had heard was the recklessness of an animal untrained in the terrain of typhoon's land. something was bounding through the jungle faster than they could keep up with, so they simply followed the creature with their eyes and ears. keeping up the best they could, but also making sure they would remain unseen.
suddenly the sounds halted. there was struggling and sounds of frustration. idyll takes a hesitant step forward toward the beast, jaws open to try and figure out what exactly was their purpose, but the voice that called out had struck a memory within them. all too familiar, as idyll had occasionally wondered where that rogue had gone after that day in the jungle...
"bai shi?" the sage whispered, almost unbelieving. they crept closer, confused on the name they called out but did not bother to question. it sounded pained... best not to bring it up. instead idyll made a point to get in front of bai shi so that the other could see them before quickly realizing the scars across their eyes. "oh... dear. stay still, i will have you down in a moment."
the sage made quick work of the vines. one by one chewing them apart or simply giving a tug to the ones that were already ripped apart, just tangled around. "are you hurt? oh, goodness, i have so many questions." part of them felt giddy to see their old friend. at least, who they considered a friend. it didn't seem like the right moment to bombard with questions though. figure out what was wrong with their eyes, then check for any other injuries... that should be first.
"here, first let me see..." they would attempt to lift bai shi's head closer to their own and assess the damage around their eyes. "who did this to you, friend? you've gotten yourself into trouble?" it was the attempt at a tease to help calm their nerves, but truthfully, idyll was concerned about the answer they would be given.
