"Kinda busy today, huh?" You say idly, trying to make conversation
"Yeah, I think we covered more ground than yesterday. And then there was that weird clearing. What's that about?"
"No idea."
"Mm, hm hm. Maybe I'll make up a story then." She begins to pluck out a tune, humming to herself.
It's peaceful. Maybe you've got nothing to be worried about after all.
"So," she says suddenly, "land of the moss. Tell me about that. You sang a song last night, now I wanna hear stories."
You chuckle, thankful for the distraction. "Well, lots of featherkin live there, tho we're not the only ones. A lot of our trade revolves around harvest and the things we make and sell from the fruits of the field."
"You're near the Crestal Sea, aren't you?"
You nod. "that's why there's so much moss. Everything is wet, always. I love it tho. When it rains it smells wonderful. The salt of the sea and the crisp of the green, it's something you never forget."
"Beautiful." She reaches and stirs the skillet.
"What about you? You always been near the mountain?"
"Practically. I'm from Froasting originally, but I don't remember much of it. My parents inherited the inn from my greats on my mom's side, and I lived there every since." She shrugs, " it's not bad, Snowloaf is an hour's train away, so, you know. I'm not so lonely. Most of the time."
