Times Change

Irie seemed... Pleasant enough. Or at least she didn't have her teeth buried in any of his limbs, which was a lot more than he'd hoped for at first! She claimed that her trip had been enjoyable and mentioned more visits northward. At that his mouth cracked into a broad grin. It was lovely up here, he thought fondly. So varied and unique, something new around every corner. "The world itself is a wonder," he remarked with a smile. "No one place can trump another." The scent of earth and life was all around them, mingling in the wind, their sounds filling his ears. He took in a deep breath, and let it out slowly.

Irie asked about the girls and his grin grew wider yet. He laughed and looked skyward, trying to get his words in order. "Ahh, where to begin." There was so much he wanted to tell her, so much she had missed! He didn't realize how desperately he'd missed all his friends in the south; he'd been too busy to think of anything else at all, in fact. "Leto is the oldest. She is fiery like my sister Caia. Artemis was born next, and she is more like me. Takes a while to warm up to people, but she's a sweetheart. Iskra is the youngest. She much quieter than her sisters, and takes more after her mother." He laughed, mind sifting through all the hell they'd already put him through in their short lives, trying to find just one story to tell, but he couldn't pick. All he could do was laugh and shrug, and wait to see what Irie made of it all.
