[Starwind is actually up and about again, which is relieving both to him and a lot of other people. He’s out by the edge of the forest again, since that’s the closest he can get to trees in the Underworld. Despite the feathered mask he’s wearing to match his silk clothing, he seems much happier than he has lately. At least, there’s a rather ( Read more... )

[It’s far later than Starwind is usually awake, but he jerks himself out of sleep, confused and frightened at first, and after a few more long minutes laying still, he knows that he’s not going back to sleep. Not after that nightmare ( Read more... )

[The video activates as the tablet hits the floor, rather loudly. Evidently, it's been knocked off a nearby nightstand. Not so strange, really, but considering whose tablet it is ( Read more... )

[Yet another boy that looks like a girl wanders into the view of the camera on Starwind’s tablet (which has evidently been set on something to catch this whole...scene. Starwind finds his own way into frame a few moments later, smiling.]

What have you found, ke’leeka’el?

I do not know, na’el. [But his voice is too…perfect, too smooth, and his ( Read more... )

[At first, there is nothing but silence, but after a few moments a familiar flute takes up another melody. Even if it isn’t showing the broadcaster, it’s fairly obvious who it is now. It almost seems that he doesn’t want the song to end, but it has to eventually. There is more silence before Starwind sighs and Taree makes a few little noises.] ( Read more... )

[This video is actually intentional, but it seems that Taree has hijacked it, trying to hop onto Starwind’s hand-which he keeps pulling away from her as it is wrapped in bandages. Undeterred, she keeps trying, only to have his hand moved out of the way each time.]

Not today, little sister.

[She makes a little sound that actually manages to be ( Read more... )

[The video is accidental, as Starwind sets the tablet down next to him-it finds him on the roof of some unspecified building (how he climbed up there is a mystery), lying on his back and staring up at the strange not-sky. His expression is mostly blank and he really looks for the world like he’s trying not to think anything ( Read more... )

[Starwind’s post is, unfortunately, accidental. The tablet falls from his hand in time to see him collapse, landing on his back in a manner that has to be painful. His eyes are unfocused and distant and he’s covered in cuts and bruises of varying severity. His arms and chest seem the worst damaged, and his face has been-miraculously-untouched. ( Read more... )

[It’s difficult to tell whether or not this post is deliberate. The video catches Starwind at the edge of the forest, seated cross-legged on the ground, back perfectly straight. An impressive pose, really, for someone as old as he is. A pale burn scar that was decidedly not there before now decorates his neck, and if one looks closely enough, ( Read more... )

[Even with the warnings going around about sleeping versus staying awake, it’s been a while since Starwind has had a decent night’s sleep as it is. Not since Moondance left, anyway, and then on top of the magical exertion and self-imposed guard duty, he’s certainly running short.

He didn’t intend to doze off, but he has, seated on the floor, ( Read more... )
