Life was slowly returning to normal... well, mostly normal. At least Gloom was recovering, though her normal (and his normal, for that matter) wasn't what most would consider normal. But it was their normal and for now that was enough for him. Wasn't like he'd ever really had big hopes for life, not since he was a child - now he spent most of his waking hours in a strange half-conscious state, torn between daydreaming and reality. It was no doubt a coping mechanism and he was vaguely aware of it, but whatever helped him get through the day, right? It'd been a long time since he'd visited the mangrove, but today seemed as fine a day as any to visit. Strawberry, his little finch friend, seemed to take a quick liking to the place. She flitted up ahead of him, swooping from one tree branch to the next, occasionally diving low to the ground in search of something to eat. Now that the lands were returning to life she too seemed to be more herself and he was beyond pleased with her company. Distracted by watching her red form disappear and reappear as she put on a show for him, he slowed when the scent of another touched his nose. Apparently she was much closer than he'd realized. Slowly, he veered around one of the trees and paused abruptly when the pale figure of a stranger popped up in his field of vision. "H-h-hello," he stammered lamely, tail instinctively tucking between his hind legs. |
Spirit has a female strawberry Finch companion named Strawberry, who is almost always nearby.
He also is usually wearing a saddlebag if he's away from home.
