Bran Davies, home from Cardiff for the holidays, has had some opportunity to rest from the stresses of the fall term. It is not entirely peaceful at home, though. The Dysynni valley, some hours north of Cardiff, is much closer to the fires than Bran's university, and the people of Clwyd Farm have been grim and thoughtful lately

Raven has never, it must be said, been put off by grim or thoughtful.

But he does refrain from glittering Bran as soon he walks through the door.

Instead, he drops down from the rafters in a flurry of black feathers, human-shaped head tilting as his feet hit the floor.

"Bran."

Black eyes are bright and amused as he looks at Bran.

"Things go?"

[theravenboy]

If anything, when Bran sees Raven he is less amused than before. Bran has learned certain things since the last time the two spoke.

"Raven," Bran says, looking at Raven through cold golden eyes. "So kind of you to come and say hello."

[creator_raven]

Raven laughs.

"Perhaps."

He tilts his head a little farther, black eyes wide and bright.

"But I am, I think, not so good at kind. So."

[theravenboy]

"I did not expect that of you," Bran answers, although perhaps he did expect kindness from Raven. He was not watchful enough. "You are Wild, after all. I did expect that you would be worthy of trust."

Sitting near the fire was Tegid his blue cloak piled on top of the table and beneath his head. Near his head and the bundled up cloak was his golden harp, clutched in a loose hand. His staff reseted nicely on the floor.

Bran approaches the bard. "Good evening to you," he says cheerfully enough. "Tegid Tathal, is it not, the Penderwydd?"

[penderwydd]

Tegid started, had he been asleep? Indeed he had.

"Excuse me, brother" he said quickly, "I recognize your voice, Bran Davis? How do you fair?" Tegid's blindfold had slipped a little.

[theravenboy]

"Well enough," answers Bran. "Not the best of winters, this one, but it could be worse. And you, how have you been?"
