on the causeway - monday evening - 04/26

[new_to_liirness]

Hurly burly, twisting, whirling
Like some river through the land he's been
Flying, spying, learning, trying
To be half of what deserves his kin.It was almost a different boy who came down the causeway. He was still a boy, though the lanky frame had filled out some, the potential of the father's form come true in hard work and happenstance. No

Ino had been mostly flying around just for the sake of... being up in the air where absolutely nothing mattered but the air and Staffy beneath her.

Of course, that did not stop her from being totally lacking in situational awareness, no.

Which meant she spotted Liir and Makejoy and had drifted close enough for her ears to catch his latest comment.

"I could drop somethin' on you," she said brightly, from above. "If it'd justify your fears and all."

Liir looked up at the voice and his eyes were bright. He was smiling with the kind of abandon that he couldn't have managed before.

"Ino! Nameless Name, you're a sight for the sorest of eyes! Beat me to a pulp, only come down and let me hold you a moment!"

She pretended to think about that for all of... .2 seconds, before swooping down easily, landing lightly, and flinging herself at him.

For a hug. For now.

Lecturing came later.

So many little things were different. His skin was darker, his arms were stronger, his hug was tighter, almost too tight, as if she might go away at any moment. He wasn't shaking, though. He was steady. Perhaps more steady than he'd ever been.
