The driftwood fire crackled in hues of azure and emerald in addition to the typical rose-orange flames. Festivity regarded the shifting flames with a halfhearted appreciation. She absorbed and enjoyed the beauty rather than making any attempt to analyze the scene before her. Her mind was quiet, drifting from thought to thought with the slow abandon akin to molasses or cold tree sap. It would have been easy to fall asleep, but the cooking fish required attending from time to time. She prodded them absentmindedly and willed them to cook faster. Her stomach was rumbling and Valrian shifted uneasily on her shoulder, a sure-fire signal that he was quite hungry as well.
Thus occupied, Festivity very nearly missed the approaching company. Indeed, with the smoky fire blocking the more sensitive functions of her nose, it was the bird's sharp eyes that noted the moving shadow. Unwillingly more alert now, she called out hesitant but bold "Hello?" into the early evening air. She squinted against the glaring firelight, trying to pick out the distinction the mynah had just noted.
