"What's it like there? I heard it's underground. I've never lived underground."

She laughs. "You likely won't feel underground there - the halls are carved to look like a stone forest, and lit by soft glowing lamps..."

Permalink

"Oooh."

Permalink

She can spend a good long while painting a picture with her words for Danallin, of the gemstone murals and the birds who flit about, of the little hidden glades where sunlight can filter in...

Permalink

Yep, good distraction.

Permalink

And a good way to pass the long journey. (They pass through the Girdle without any issue, and the forest beyond it feels... Fresher, almost. Not younger, but eternal, unbowed by the weight of years.)

Feels like the sort of forest one should frolic in, really.

Permalink

An interesting proposal. 

Permalink

Is Ennil a frolicker?

Permalink

She hasn't been before. 

Permalink

That's a pity. Frolicking might suit her.

Permalink

If Danallin says so, it must be true.

Permalink

Her faith is touching.

Permalink

She's a good judge of character. 

Permalink

Must be a useful talent in her border guard-type activities.

Permalink

Very much so. 

Permalink

Not so much for frolicking, though, except maybe in choice of frolic partner.

Permalink

Choice of partner seems an essential part. 

Permalink

One can get pretty far on their own, actually.

Permalink

Though Ennil has never been particularly tempted alone.

Permalink

Well, now that Danallin's planted the seed, maybe that will change.

Permalink

Or perhaps she'll pine for Danallin to join her.

Permalink

All she has to do is ask.

Permalink

Then show her how to frollick. (It's more a command than a request.)

Permalink

Well, okay...

First you gotta get loose, shake things out and make sure you're all flexible. Then breathe in the natural beauty, hold it, and let it out as a little tune (you can hum or sing or whistle as you prefer). Follow the song with light steps, skip through the brush, do a little twirl when you see a pretty flower, swing from a sturdy branch...
