[Seems Moro's back from her mallynapping.  If you're roaming near the shore of the lake, you might notice a giant white object half-beached on the shore.

It's Moro.  And for those of you who have run into her before, you'll see that the once gaping wound in her chest has been closed up.  The fur around it has been shaved off, and from the scar it looks like it was cut open longer before being stitched back up, given the pattern of the scars.  And with her fur shaved in that area, as well as a patch on her foreleg shaved off, you can see her old, greyed skin underneath.

She seems alive, but she is most definitely asleep.  Prod her?]

[Well, it was a surprising way to wake up, so she's staring a bit, trying to mentally process what just happened.]

[ He's staring right back as he pulls himself up, a little dizzy from falling. His concerned expression is back. ]

[biteoffherhead]

Away, human boy.

[ Oh, that was an order. He droops visibly... he wanted to help. The little crow frowns and nods. ]

Okay... I'll go tell someone you're here, so they can help...

[biteoffherhead]

Send no humans here, for I will kill them.

[ fjkgdf He knows she wants him to go, but he hesitates. Ahh, his want to please it contrasting with his instinctive curiosity. ]

But you don't look like you can move.

[biteoffherhead]

I can.

...You don't smell right.

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

I smell like a crow to you, right? It's my +Anima.

[biteoffherhead]

...Anima?

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

[ He nods, smiling, waving his feathered arms a bit as he realizes they're still out. ]

It's the spirit my soul called to me... I don't really know how it happened. I've always been like this, but most people only get one if they're close to death.

[Moro stares intently at him. A child with no apparent malice, who obviously has a bond with the spirit realm, however foreign.]

[biteoffherhead]

...I have not seen humans tread in the land of spirits for eons.

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

[ Those words are a little big for him but... he thinks he gets the idea of what she's saying. ]

It doesn't happen all the time, but I've met a lot of other people with +Anima like me.

[biteoffherhead]

If the spirits are willing to bind to you, then I have little to fret. Spirits are fickle and cruel. If you are not to their liking they will make your existence miserable.

[ Somehow, that's enough to relax him fully, sitting on the ground now, with his legs crossed. He wants to keep her company. ]

I didn't know that... my +Anima was always nice to me. I don't think it likes it here, though. It doesn't work right.

[ He touches the marking on his right shoulder thoughtfully. Sometimes, he forgets that it is more than just a part of him. ]

[biteoffherhead]

A human that may well side with spirits rather than humans. That is a very appealing thought.

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

Mm... There's a lot of people who get along with nature, where I'm from. But there's a lot of people who are scared of people like me, or hate them. I don't hate those people, though.

[biteoffherhead]

Tch! Those humans who hate the realm of spirits so greatly that they would place a bullet in the chest of a god deserve no life.

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

A god? [ He looks at Moro, leaning as if he's trying to read her. He was wondering how she could talk. ]

So you're a god. Wow...

[biteoffherhead]

Moro. The guardian god of the forest.

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

[ He looks just fascinated now. He's quiet for a moment before perking up. ]

Thank you!

[biteoffherhead]

So long as you listen closely to your spiritual attachment, and do not attack the realm of the spirits, then I will have no reason to kill you.

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

[ He nods, obediently. He doubly can't disobey a god, right? Besides, she seems nice. He likes to make nice people happy. ]

Okay, I will.
