Old friend, come share a tale

Outlaw got kissed by a ghost! That’d make for a great story detail but he wondered if anyone would believe it. Oh well, what did that actually matter anyway? He knew it and others would enjoy hearing it believe or not. “Sorry? No need. You came for a visit to see me now so what does the past matter on that?” It was an easy answer, whipping away any context of past concerns. “I was worried about you at points but see now? I know I don’t need to worry anymore. You're dead which admittedly is a sad thing but look at you.” Outlaw waves a paw at her ghostly form, “smiling and laughing so I imagine I can’t ask for much else.”

Well, there wasn’t exactly the warmth another wolf could give off when they set next to you but still, somehow Outlaw felt he could still ‘feel’ Meadow near him. Maybe it was just a dog thing. Wolves got a lot of extra fur and dogs got to sense the dead better than most? It worked for the dog! Truth and facts had their place but in moments like this, the reasons weren’t all that important.

Outlaw could have pointed out she could have taken her along with her but imagined that went against the entire point. This was her story time anyway so it wouldn’t be right of Outlaw to interrupt until she was done. A story that was started was one that should be finished. The end of it apparently came with the creation of a new story. She’d gotten pregnant and so a new life would have started with having her child. She didn’t continue with that though and instead pushed it on Outlaw to take his turn. Well, he could always tell a story! He hadn’t had time to really tell Meadow a bunch of stories.

So no time limit but she had to leave to refresh herself or some such? Well, Outlaw was getting quite the education. “Welp, I got enough stories for you to take a season to speak of. I spent a lot of time recently on the ocean so had a whole lot of sunsets over the water I saw. True beauty there.” It was beautiful but it had lost some of the enjoyment when it was practically the only thing to see twice a day often enough. Still, for now, it was said with enjoyed merriment, remembering the best of everything.

“I’d say the best part probably runs near with what you’d call your best. Tamsyn bore children and I got to help keep an eye on the kiddos. Wonderful group they were, still are but older now.” Outlaw hadn’t seen them grow up enough. They sure had changed! “You know one of em uses a sword as a weapon, and he’s the new Hallows leader. The girls are so pretty. Gwyn’s become healer ya know.” The last bit offered knowing Meadow had been a healer. "All of them are wonderful.” He didn’t go on to describe them all, he could always do so later as other stories came about. “Love them kids.”

Outlaw shrugged, “You weren’t the only one to disappear on them though. I took a trip on my raft that took longer than passed. Got blown out into the deeper ocean and was lost for long while. I came home to kids not only grown up but, having just had children of their own. Saw a whole lot on the journey. So, yup, could talk for a full-on season. I’m sure glad to be back now though, at least for a stopover.” Outlaw wasn't sure how long he would be staying yet. He loved these kids but was he going to stay in the Hallows or roam a bit more? Well, he wanted to meet all the Hallows kids first and there were still more on the way.
