" it's a gift for the morrigan. " the druid smiles, placing his offering of herbs at the base of the magnificent tree before them. " you might say that we're good friends, she and i. "
His companion’s nonchalant outlook settles his nerves as he follows behind. Bittersweet scents waft in as they tease their flavorful aromas of candied decay. Wilted leaves crush under his steps as he makes way, cruising through a few other sights for the sore eyes. Gloomy melody of the wind sing their wails and absorb his heat, the lesser druid tightening his robes as he goes along with Eriel’s whims and demands. It does not take long for him to realize precisely where they now stand.
Before them looms the darkening tree of legends and lore, branching wide and reaching the limitless sky. Even in the cloudy atmosphere, the aura of such a living being removes the burden of the heavying weather. Hurriedly, he uncloaks his brown hood and adjusts his woven basket, feeling the obligation of greeting nature before them as if someone or something compels him. Watching the light locks of his fellow order droop as the gift is presented before it forms this lump in Yoo’s chest, unable to still himself as curiosity and wisdom both push him to ask for questions. Nonetheless, he bites his lip to hold his tongue, unsure whether such a time might be appropriate in this circumstance. He chuckles out of hesitance, “Hmhm, it seems to be a wonderful friendship indeed, brother Eriel.”
Thoughts swirl at his words though, knotting his stomach at the suggestion. Good friends? What ever could he mean... A sigh releases the tension building within, as he digs through the basket to at least lay an offering as well. He feels the curvature of his old boline against the new one he had received help with crafting earlier this week, feeling his spirit encourage him to showcase it to Eriel. “Here,” he steps forward to lay it beside the neatly set herbs, “I pray this may be enough to receive her guidance and protection.” Moving his gaze from the tool to his partner, he smiles and reminds him, “So, I suppose we should make way. We should accompany their travel while we can still catch them on the way.” Again, he looks up at the sky, presuming a time, “I am sure we can make it there before their departure.” A hand gestures to Eriel, insisting he lead on as usual.
