the lily fair

Rio knew the pain of being trapped inside. Sometimes she was locked away in her mind through a provocation, while at other times she fell into the abyss without warning. She did not even like to think of the sick gloom her thoughts periodically drowned in. Recently, she had successfully ignored it with the distraction Toki gave her.
One never knew what lay in wait around the corner, but she had confidence that there was nothing sinister there today. Indeed, the woman who'd chased the rabbit right into her ambush seemed disoriented at first, perhaps irritated; Rio could not determine for sure. For a fleeting moment she worried that she'd upset the stranger by stealing her kill. She did not want to have another experience like the one with Enkiel.

It became clear that her fears were unneeded. The gray-furred fey offered thanks in a voice that was smooth and musical, like the flow of a spring. Periwinkle eyes curiously watched as the woman dissected the rabbit into halves. She wished to reject the larger half that was pushed gently her way and take the smaller instead. Thank you, Miss, but are you certain...? she queried, her face tilted quizzically to one side. She did not understand why the stranger would give her more to eat than she gave herself. Her fox sniffed their half of the carcass before Rio could stop him, but in the next second, she cast him a meaningful glance. Upon looking at the sable girl's face, he backed off to take his place beside and a little beneath the wolf's skinny body. He understood that Rio wanted to assure herself before eating, crazy as it seemed.
