Faelyn Tries To Catch a Rabbit (closed/moderated)

[Faelyn]

Her eyes, turquoise now with the troubled emotions, searched through the fast-falling snow. She watched as the tiny indents in the snow began to fade, filling with snow. A mix of sorrow and happiness seemed to be on her face. "By now... if it's injured, it has little chance to survive. And neither do we if we don't get out of this storm." She looked back up at Ilhor, as her eyes began to shift back to the stunning violet color. There was a sort of serenity in her face, as if she seemed to understand there was nothing more she could do for the rabbit.

Another silent moment passed as she looked off into the blizzard, now thinking of the prisoner, wondering how he planned to survive. But she knew deep inside that there was nothing they could do for him either. Finally she turned back towards Avanthal, and a shiver ran down her spine. She could feel the cold setting in. She stepped a little closer to Ilhor. "We should go home..."

Ilhor had initially thought Faelyn as an overly shy, timid lady, too emotionally fragile to deal with anything outside her comfort zone. Yet, today's incidents have proven to him that, deep inside, she was stronger that she let out, even stronger that she herself realized. He watched her carefully as she was making her decision about whether they should press on, and although he felt nothing for the rabbit, he knew how much it meant for her, and he could almost feel the emotional battle that ragged inside her as her frightened face turned to troubled and then to tranquil. And he admired her even more for the way she handled their encounter with the escaped prisoner. It should have been easy for her to panic, to do something stupid, yet instead, she remained calm and focused. He truly felt that he was experiencing something great that day as he responded "Yes, I think we must". He smiled at her and led the way, sure to ask her to meet again someday when they have reached their arvintas.

Notes: This was a great thread! I admired how you embraced your character’s fragility and her gentleness. I was sad to see that they never discovered the fate of the rabbit but it was good to see her accept that she had done all she could. I’m definitely excited to see more from your character.

Notes: Ilhor what a sneaky Vantha you are! It was fun to see your character attempt to deduce the motives of the prisoner. I always enjoy a good investigation and I think you did a good job, just try to remember that your character doesn’t have much experience with these matters. A little more struggle never hurt anybody and often adds a lot of interesting internal conflict into a thread.

Note: Thank you Viq for the awesome guest moderation role. You did an excellent job and I love to see players step up to help each other achieve what they want.
