"Should you want anymore help, please, give me a call..." Sinthos smiled sadly and flew back toward his small cave.

Firebolt's wings carried her back to her own home where she could rest for a brief cycle.

At his home, Sinthos made himself an herbal drink. It slowly started numbing him, allowing him to drift off in a short time.
He woke tired and bleary eyed the next day. Had he dreamed the night before, or had he actually opened up to someone? Sinthos glanced over at the fire, which was now burning low in the fireplace. "More wood...How I hate this chore..." He shrugged and grabbed a satchel, heading for the out of doors to acquire more fuel for his fire.

Before dawn Firebolt had returned to her task. She was the eternal guardian of the valleys, especially the stretch of land where her family lived. She often walked the line between light and dark, and couldn't help but note the irony of her situation. It was a good distraction for her mind, a much needed distraction.
Since she was young her regeneration cycles were often haunted with...Dreams. But they were more than dreams, they were so much stronger, so realistic. Last night's was one of the worst that she'd ever experienced. She saw the male she'd met earlier and somehow... She shook her head trying to focus, but not too much. She'd witnessed his story first hand. Saw it all as if she was actually there, watching it through his eyes. It was a vision she wished she could forget, block it from her mind altogether...

"You!" she gasped halting fast in the air. It took a moment for her to regain her usual composure, ""I mean, it's you again. Good morning."

He frowned and turned his head, "I see I caught you off guard. My apologies....I'll just leave you be now...you look terribly busy..."

"No, it's just..." she shook her head. "Dreams interrupted my sleep, I'm not as well rested as I usually am."

"Oh..." she inadvertently cringed as the scenes from last night flooded her mind. "Yes, I can understand."
