	Caelum glanced to Magnolia as she spoke. He briefly looked ahead when she finished, then slowly shifted his gaze back to hers once more.

	[color=a36209]“Afraid?”[/color] Caelum echoed warmly, the slightest smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.  
[color=a36209]“Of course not. What could there be to fear?”[/color] He turned slightly, guiding her gaze toward the brilliant, warm glow that emanated from the heart of his mottled wings.

	[color=a36209]“Honestly?”[/color] he said even softer, gaze lowering. [color=a36209]“Yeah…”[/color] Then, in almost a whisper: [color=a36209]“[i]I am terrified[/i].”[/color] The ember glow of his wings remained cold.

	The sparrowman let his words linger as he continued on beside the fairy, absorbing every peaceful moment with her that he could. He had no clue what was to come, but he doubted it would be like it had that morning anytime soon… or, possibly, [i]ever again[/i].

	Caelum looked forward again, steeling himself as best he could. Then he glanced back to Magnolia. A gentle smile returned the moment he laid eyes on her face.

	[color=a36209]“At least… I won’t have to go alone.”[/color]
