Closed A Walk in the Park[M'ki, Dust]

[M'ki]

M'ki thought about it for a moment; it was true, she didn't know what her purpose was at the moment. But did that mean she didn't need a purpose? "I think everyone needs a purpose," she said finally. "Without a purpose, you are just surviving from day to day. I don't know what my purpose is, yet, but I know that I will find it; the Call will lead me to it. I feel the Call in my bones; it tells me if where I am is the right place. And honestly, I don't think Riverfall is where my purpose is. Or what it is. But I know that I have one."

M'ki stretched her legs out in front of her, adjusting her trousers, and crossed her ankles, leaning back on her elbows. Dusk had settled into near-night, Leth's light starting to illuminate the statues in softer ways than Syna's could. It made the park seem like something from a dream.

[Dust]

Her question gave the Konti pause for thought, and Dust leaned forward attentively, anticipating a response any time now... M'ki spoke of need, of knowing that need in her bones; she spoke of uncertainty, ambiguity, the lack of direction even as she was compelled to move on. That sounded... very much, very much, like what Dust felt compelling her towards a bondmate. Whoever her bondmate would be. "That's what a bond is like, too," Dust remarked brightly, excited to have found commonality between these two race-specific concepts. "Or, well, not having one. When I find mine, then I'll be where I need to be." She paused a moment, considering. "You could say a bondmate is a Kelvic's purpose, I guess, like you have yours. I didn't know we were like Konti! Except not fish. That's neat!" Dust only realized how late it had become when she saw that the Konti was less lit from above, and more from the statue behind her. The Kelvic hopped up to her feet, extending a hand to her new friend. "Oh, you should see the park at night, it's really pretty. I'll show you my favorite statues if you want!"

[M'ki]

M'ki couldn't help but smile at Dust's enthusiasm. "Yes, I suppose you could say that," she replied, grinning. "It's very neat." When Dust hopped to her feet-- it was becoming easier and easier to see the raven in the woman-- M'ki couldn't help but chuckle.

"I don't see how it can get any prettier than it is during the day," she said, taking Dust's hand and allowing the Kelvic to help her to her feet, "but I would love to see the rest of the park; I haven't had a chance to explore this one, yet."
