[recrowns]

Oh? Why?

[he expected something smaller and more docile, given the way that animals just flock to goat]

[retellers]

I don't know. Or I don't remember.

[recrowns]

You're just drawn to it then?

Hm.... Falcons are rather impressive, and powerful.

[retellers]

Are they? I suppose so... I was thinking of them as warm.

[recrowns]

Warm?

[ . . . and he laughs a little bit]

Mm, I think I can see that too. I wonder if the animals find you warm, too.

[retellers]

I don't know if I'm what one would call that... I feel as though I'm better described as cold?

[recrowns]

Really?

[he looks

so shocked at this description it's almost comical]

[retellers]

[ ??? ]

Ice...

[recrowns]

While I realize that, I don't think it properly extends to your personality...

[retellers]

I don't know if I'm a warm person in other regards either...

[recrowns]

Truly....? I think you are.

I think your care for all life is evident, which always comes across as rather warm and soft-hearted to me.

[retellers]

... It sounds a little like an insult when you put it like that...

[ you don't usually call people soft as a good thing!! ]

[recrowns]

Is that how you heard it? It's not how I intended it.

[with a bit of an apologetic smile]

... I think that your resolve is impressive, and I'm sure you possess pieces of wisdom that come with a long life.

But I think that kindness and softness are even rarer, the older that one gets, which makes them precious.

[retellers]

Are they...? I think kindness can be found in many places, if you look closely enough.

[recrowns]

Pockets of it perhaps - for certain people, and beloved ones.

But a kindness that resounds for all people, all things....

[to be honest, he's not sure if he's met anyone who possesses that type of spirit before coming here. (he's not selfish enough to include himself.)]

Well, maybe I just haven't met enough people or immortals - but I think it's surprising. It's not something I dislike with you, though.

[retellers]

Oh.

[ they're no sure how to respond to that. ]

Thank you?

[recrowns]

[he smiles back]

You're welcome.

[he did mean it as a compliment]

[retellers]

[ yay! they smile a little. ]
