Taele stood up and followed slowly, completely clueless as to what was going on. The people who had come into her house seemed concerned about something, though at the moment, all she could concentrate on was how much of a man Raeilun had grown into.
Taele shook her head to clear the thoughts away ...

"Unfortunately, no. Although if I could gut you for that, it would make ME feel better." the ghost growled at Kaleb.
After a few minutes, Taele came to her feet shakily, feeling upset and sick, but able to sublimate the horrible feeling that came with her flashbacks.
"I...I'm sorry everyone. I just ...

Taele paled. "F-father?" she squeaked, trembling. She let out a small anguished cry and sank to the floor, sent careening back to the night her parents died. She curled up on the ground and sobbed loudly, lashing out at anyone who came near. Taele closed her eyes and held tight to her position.
The ...

Taele sighed, wondering whatever she had gotten herself into. Raeilun had made friends, and she was happy for him, but she was envious as well. She had never really had..friends. Allies, sometimes, but not true friends to share life with. She, for what seemed like the millionth time that day, forced ...

Taele left the house to go get more water for the basin and tripped over the fox sitting there. She yelped as she hit the ground hard. Taele groaned and stood back up, rubbing her arm before looking back at the fox. When their eyes met, she knew it was the one from her dream. She sank into a crouch ...

"What...the hell." Taele said. "There is no way this is happening. I ate some bad berries. That has to be it."

She looked about and shook her head, then her eyes snapped open.

Taele lay at home, in her bed, which was really more of a mattress with a bearskin blanket. She yawned and stood up. Taele ...

Taele shrugged and kept petting the fox. She smiled at the way her fur felt.
"You're quite nice." she said, smiling kindly. "I think I'll keep you."

Taele looked at the fox in her lap curiously, then shrugged and began stroking her and scratched her behind the ears. Right about then, she saw a man running past, screaming incoherently.
"Where the hell are these people coming from, anyways?" she wondered aloud.
"Hey, you!" she shouted.
"Crazy man ...

Taele let out a sigh of relief. That was good. There was no shortage of people who wanted her dead, just for being Fae.
"Well...I'm a Fae, as you can see. I..well..there isn't much to tell. I live very day-to-day, that is, I don't dwell on the past or the future. And I carve." she said, smiling a ...

Taele was taken aback at the ears and tail.
"Tell me about yourself." she said, patting her lap as an indication she could sit or lay there if she pleased. "For starters, what's your name?"
Taele couldn't believe she hadn't asked yet. "I'm Taele."

"Nothing." she said, with a dismissive wave.
"Since you're here, would you like to chat?" Taele asked hopefully. She didn't often get company.

She turned a bit red, but kept her cool.
"Erm...thanks...so are you."
And Taele meant it. The fox girl was really very pretty. She let her mind wander...oh the things she'd do..
But she shook her head. People weren't attracted to her. They just weren't.

"I miss him a lot..I just want him back.." she said, eyes becoming wet.
"But enough about me, what're you doing here?" Taele asked, sniffing and drying her eyes. She took the carving and kept whittling absentmindedly as she listened to the fox girl.

"Oh, erm, nothing much." she said, "I'm just making a carving of someone I miss..." she finished, holding it out to the fox-girl to look at.
((It's a carving of Raeilun crouched on the ground.))
"I..I thought I might have loved him. But he disappeared.."
She smiled sadly.
((Taele shows her tender ...

Taele was sitting under a tree that afternoon, carving, as she saw a girl running her way. She smiled softly at the woman, wondering what she was doing.
