There were times when her husband could seem more the animal, but then there were times that he seemed like the man she loved all the more. As he explained about the birds, mainly about Altaira and the Benshira Oriah, she seemed very interested to learn more. He continued on, speaking about how they thought. She thought it was cute how they seemed to be following the caravan, and given her secluded nature the past few days in the back of the covered wagon, she had not noticed that they had been following them.

"No...really?" she asked with surprise, looking over toward the forest edge, yet was unable to see the many birds he likely saw.

She never assumed that birds would wonder about why one person was walking with another and admiration for her husband began to blossom greatly in her heart. A little laugh came from her as he joked and the eyes that had seemed so dim in comparison inside the dim light of the wagon once again met his with their brilliance of green and ocean blue. 

"I never would have thought birds talked like that." 

She almost buzzed with excitement, nearly springing in her step with him. With her turned face toward him, the wind blew her thick strands of hair into obstructing her face and she tossed her hair to look forward into the wind as she looked down to the ground they were walking on. It was such a contrast how verdant everything was. For miles and miles stretching toward the mountains far far in the distance all she could see was beautiful green. 

Her husband's question about her sewing project, as well as his reaching touch to brush her windswept hair away from her cheek, snapped her attention back to him. In a loving tone she hummed thoughtfully for a moment and then spoke.

"It's going fine. I think I'll be done by tomorrow. I am just finishing up the embroidery. Do you like how it looks so far? Did you see it?"

She wasn't sure how attentive he had been given his intent focus on the stormgems. It was a sign to her that she wouldn't likely get much out of him until he had settled to put them away. Yet her husband had uncanny focus, and while the gems were fascinating, she knew she was all the more to him.
