An Unkindness

Aresenn absorbed Absinth's words with a thoughtful expression, his gaze shifting between her and the raven, Vita with a look mixed of interest, confusion, and amusement. The repeated affirmation of the nickname "silly Fireboy" from the raven drew a chuckle from him at the idea of it. "So, you're telling me. It can name me Fireboy, but can't come up with a name for itself?" The idea was quite comical to him. But he did his best to harness the hilarity that threatened to break his resolve.

The story behind naming the raven Vita and Absinth's connection to these enigmatic creatures stirred a reflective mood in Aresenn. He nodded in understanding as she spoke about the ravens' unique way of communicating, acknowledging the depth of their relationship. "Vita," he repeated the name, hearing it on his own voice. "It's a fine name," he remarked, acknowledging both the choice of name and the sentiment behind it.

He understood where she was coming from when she described the loyalty and appeal of such a creature. He nodded along, allowing her to illustrate an instance of a Raven captivating her through its actions. Perhaps, Absinth was a bit of a raven, herself. "How does the saying go? Birds of a feather, flock together?" He mused aloud. Wondering if Absinth drew the parallel as well.
