At the sight of a familiar face, Fellwing felt relief wash over her. It was strange; she had never met this brownie, nor exchanged a single word with him. She was nothing but a peculiar stranger to him, and yet she felt invested in his well-being. She always did, after 'meeting' someone in her visions. Usually however, she avoided confronting them in real life - let alone calling them by [i]name[/i].

But they had no time to dillydally, and introductions could wait until after they'd made it to safety. So, with a quick nod to Starwing, she followed after Alpin. They were quick and silent, like shadows fleeing from light - except the light was mutated brownies.

Solid ground was a welcome sight, and Fellwing had just managed to regain a proper posture when Alpin - who she'd noticed throw glances at her every now and again for a while - finally spoke up. He voiced his concerns, the exact ones that usually kept the black drake from letting others know she'd seen them in her dreams. She felt ashamed for having been so rash this time.

[color=#595555]"That was--"[/color] she began in a hurry, trying to formulate an excuse as she went, but Stargaze was faster, and much less discreet. She blurted out the truth, and Fellwing felt as though one of the feral brownies from earlier had just latched onto her throat. Whatever she'd meant to say turned into a gasp. No! No one outside the clutch was supposed to know!

Eyes wide, the Seer turned to Alpin, afraid of his reaction. Thankfully, he seemed more embarrassed than accusatory or afraid. She let her gaze drop. [color=#595555]"Y-you weren't, no. I'm sorry. For having spied on you, and for... startling you. Thank you for helping us."[/color] Her usually calm voice was marked by uncertainty, and she spoke barely above a whisper.

She turned to Stargaze. The change of topic was very welcome. [color=#595555]"Yes, we need to get to Echo, and fast."[/color] For a moment she thought to suggest Alpin could ride on her back if he didn't want to swim, but she felt that would have made the awkwardness worse, not better. Why couldn't she ever get a vision of how to deal with people better?[/color]
