The Crow's Feather, the Wolf's Fang

"Well for one, crows mean... different things. Like death."

"Lead dead people on to the spirit lands?" she asks, maybe having bit of a hard time thinking outside the familiar.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 3:13 pm

"Sort of. More that they can tell when someone's going to die..."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 3:18 pm

"Oh... Oh!"

"That why you feel bad about seeing crows."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 3:40 pm

"Aye, it's a bad omen. There's an old faerie tale about their mistress, who foretells the deaths of heroes."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 3:46 pm

"Someone who stand above Crow?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 3:48 pm

"I don't think it means... your Crow, aye?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 3:52 pm

"Right, yes. Different place with different stories." she reminds herself. "But now you here, aye?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 3:56 pm

"Aye. Just... trying to puzzle through it."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 4:05 pm

"Will talk to spirits more, learn the truth."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 4:43 pm

"Aye. Funny that they're both skinwalkers, though."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 4:49 pm

"Hmm... Maybe not that different. Too bad we can't talk with those spirits..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 4:53 pm

"Bit too long a way, aye."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 4:59 pm

"Is it like town down in the valley there?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 5:09 pm

"Well it's... very green. There's pastures, and forests."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 5:17 pm

"That not sound anything like the town."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 5:19 pm

"Aye. We get a lot more rain, for one."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 5:22 pm

"Oh, so like lands to the north?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 5:30 pm

"Maybe, but it's all much smaller than here. It's an island."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 5:33 pm

"That is small."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 5:39 pm

"It's not like... islands you'd see in a lake."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 5:43 pm

"Then why you call it island?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 5:46 pm

"Because it's got water on all sides?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 5:51 pm

"Okay so... really big island in really big lake."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 5:54 pm

"In the ocean, aye."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 6:20 pm

"Ooh, of course. Island beyond the sea. Sorry..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 6:21 pm

"It's okay. It's like a lake you can't see the other side of, and if you get out far enough you can't even see the shore."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 6:23 pm

"That how it was when you came here?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 6:24 pm

"Long boat ride, aye. Wasn't very fun."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 6:28 pm

"Must be scary... No land anywhere."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 6:30 pm

"A lot of rocking, and nothing much to do. Sometimes there were storms."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 6:37 pm

"Am glad you made it. From giant island in the sea full of fire-hair." she chuckles, the thought still seeming strange to her, despite (or maybe especially because of) evidence to the contrary sitting right there.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 6:52 pm

"Now you're making me sound like a faerie tale."

"...which I guess is the point."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 7:01 pm

"Told you, is like you stepped out of a story."

"Maybe one day will be story about this." she chuckles.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 7:28 pm

"Maybe someday. Hopefully not soon."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 7:45 pm

"I will not tell if you don't want me to."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 8:03 pm

"I don't mean to make you keep all my secrets, but..."

She shrugged.

"...it was just starting to feel like home, here."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 8:04 pm

"Don't want to take that away. I am glad you feel welcome."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jul 17, 2012 1:34 am

"Seems like such a petty thing to ask for, aye?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jul 17, 2012 5:16 am

"Not at all."

"And..." She hesitates a moment. "Crow bit of a trickster sometimes, skinwalking and hiding. But not like coyote, always has good reason. Like when Crow steal the sun to put it in the sky."
