    Summary

    “I don’t like being at these things all too much.”

    “Then why are you here?”

    “Because if I don’t show up, more people talk.” Gigi’s tail scraped at the floor. “Why are you talking to me, you’re the most- most,” Gigi struggled to find a word that fit, “incredible person here.”

    “That means a lot coming from someone who knows all the constellations and their stars.” Fauna’s eyes twinkled. “Those are much more impressive, in my opinion.”

    “I don’t know all the stars.”

    “I think you know enough of them.” Fauna’s cadence sounded like she was always on the verge of falling asleep, even when her eyes drilled through you with sharp and sparking alacrity. “And I don’t know any of them.”

    “I have books,” Gigi offered again, but with steel slipped into her spine this time. She could not let nerves rob her of this. “I can send them over to you?”

    “A book club.” Fauna smiled and she was beautiful even as the shadows of night slipped over her face like a mask. “I wouldn’t be opposed.”

    “Well, I am posing.” And when Fauna laughed, Gigi felt like she’d finally said the right thing.

    Summary

    “So.” Fauna, Kirin, Keeper of Nature, dweller of Gigi’s backyard/forest. “You tried to kiss me.”

    There was a thornbush in Gigi’s lungs. It hurt to breathe. She couldn’t read the look in Fauna’s eyes. She wasn’t sure how long the thorns had been there, maybe she was only just now suffering the sting. She shrugged. “Accident?”

    Summary

    “I’m leaving.”

    “Goodbye,” Caecilia said simply. “Come back soon.”

    “I will take forever,” Gura did a flip for the hell of it, squirming in the water to release the nerves that had built up in her in the time it took for Caecilia to finally demonstrate affection in her own, awkward way. So, the entire conversation. “I will come back in a million years, a million years and a day even.”

    “And I will count the time, as I am built for.” Caecilia nestled the shell in her arms. It made Gura’s heart warm. “Goodbye Gura.”

    “Goodbye,” Gura said, soft soft soft like the water and her words hadn’t left her lips at all. She tried to come back quickly, as usual. Caecilia was lonely, after all.
