LIGHT

Warmth, love and kindness.
The Life Stream glimmers and glitters with joy, swirls of shimmering dust dancing around the ray of life.
It was time for new ones to test their wings.


One by one, new adventurers now arrive in the Tree. As one gain wings and rises to the second floor, another light brings in the next person. Soon, a steady stream of people from all kinds of worlds, times and realities come to join the others. Whether confused, angry, excited or scared, your arrival is welcomed with nothing but joy as the fireflies and glow worms descend to greet their new friends.

The Tree offers no explanation and no reason, but the truth is undeniable.

As you will soon realize, it isn't easy to be tiny.

If only because he's never really needed to explain it before...

"Ah... well, every pair's different, but... Flying, mostly? Although he's a lot better at it than I am, obviously." A lame attempt at a joke, here?

"Training drills, exploring the islands... ah, and the Surface, too, recently. And, um, what else do we... Sleeping, I guess."

Because sleep happens often enough between the two of them for it to be considered an activity. Yep.

Yuuya tilts his head, but decides Link is probably using the more innocent definition of sleeping. "Busy days. A shame they don't seem to be here, your... pairmate."

Or not. Yuuya can deal with non-speaking birds, but it's always a little unnerving. "What's this surface, then?"

[sleepwardsnored]

The way Link blinks in response probably solidifies Yuuya's suspicions there. He's had thoughts like that for, what, one person? And died of embarrassment following

His face does fall a little bit-- having the Loftwing here, while bite-size would have been a comfort, but there's not much time to dwell on it for now. "Er... the ground, simply put. The place I'm from..." Link points upwards, indicating the sky. "It floats over the clouds. No one's been back down to the surface until very recently, so we're still mapping it out..."

Reflexively Yuuya moves his head so one eye points up, one down, just for a moment. "I have to say, that's outside my experience. Being up there doesn't bother you?" Maybe pointy-eared humans are better at breathing higher air and handling different pressures than most of them. "Sounds fun, though."

[sleepwardsnored]

"It's always been like that," comes the simple response. "...Flying is fun. It's different from here..."

It does make him wonder, though. Could his Loftwing partner somehow find him here? Would he even be able to tell...?

"Yes, well!" He rattles the white moth wings lying neatly across his back. Yuuya's aware of how to make them go away, but he's a bird. He's very used to having wings. "These are a shade unusual. At least mine seem to be large enough to glide with."

[sleepwardsnored]

Those do pique his interest quite a bit, widened eyes and straightened posture making for an obvious tell. He hesitates a moment, mulling something over in his head. Then, he raises a hand, gesturing to Yuuya's moth wings gently.

"Er, would it be alright if I... if I took a closer look?"

Link is so open. It's pretty cute. "Depends! First, what are you looking for?"
