ORIGIN - a streak against the stark white

The goose looked on thoughtfully for a moment, wondering about this connection between her and the stone that probably belonged to a moose, considering, again, that she ask Tyr to use the spell against her, but fear flooded her system. She didn't want to because she was deathly afraid of what he'd find. She wasn't sure what, exactly, she was afraid of, but she'd rather do this roundabout method then looking directly into that void. She at least now had an afflated drive to seek the truth in her own way.

The goose let out a small honking chuckle. "Thanks, but I think I'll leave all the magic stuff to people like you that can actually do some good with it." She glanced at the banana, having forgotten that it was still there, and pushed it forward. "You can take this, though, if you want." She really hoped that he would take it so that she felt validated in her small attempts at magic next to his grander, far more important show of spells.

She shook her head vehemently. "No thanks. You've done plenty for me already. I wouldn't want to ask you to uncover my entire life story for me. I'd rather figure out the rest on my own - you've given me a start though - so thank you."

@Tyr

Tyr liked her voice. It was odd, but it felt so, so nice to hear someone else speak that wasn't him. Her odd honking, her undertones of familiar avian qualities, just... It was nice.

He mirrored her chuckle with his own tittering laugh at the words that followed it. "Hey, I'll think if ya every time I do it, then!" He nodded his head to her with a small flourish of his wing being drawn across his chest, as if he were a formal butler being called upon for a service. The bananas came in mind a moment after- he nearly forgot they were there, too. "Oh, sure! Could use it for later when I get hungry." He beamed- he didn't have anything he could give her, but this seemed to have the buddings of a promising friendship.

"Awh, well," he started at the ever so polite rejection of further magic. He liked the excuse of performing it, but he had some Thinking Time (trademarked to Tyr) to get to back in his nest after all this. "I'm glad I could help this far. Good luck looking for the people if you go after them." A warm, genuine smile graced the corners of his beak. It was held for a moment, then another one, drawn out into awkwardness before he shook his feathers. He had things he could be getting to. "I'm.. Gonna go now."

True to his word, Tyr straightened his back before flaring his magic out towards the bananas. Back to another Tyr trademark- floating time. "Thank you for everything," he'd begun as he focused on the fruits, only to interrupt himself. "Ah- wait, I could drop them-" he mumbled, opting to take one of the bundle in his small claws. Lifting to the air was no problem for the corvid- in a flurry of wings, he hovered above the bunch and ripped off one bit from the others' stems.

Done and ready to head out, Tyr ascended so he wasn't beating her face and hovered in one place. "Hey, if you ever wanna hang out again, I've got a nest in the room with the giant blue crystal. Shouldn't be hard to miss! I'll put up some identifiers 'round if it you wanna come by." The message out, his location revealed, Tyr nodded once finally and gave a soft "I'll see you around, friend," before wheeling around and driving off back home.

exit Tyr

The goose gave him a nod, eyes creased with a smile. "I can't wait to see what other amazing things you'll do with your magic! Thank you, I'll let you know if I find them the next time we meet." Because, hopefully, they'd meet again sometime. She liked Tyr - he was funny and his confidence and energy was infectious. She was a little disappointed she didn't get to watch him lift the bananas with magic again, but she figured that this was probably safer. She stepped back as he lifted one of them and fluttered into the air. Well, she had a basket she could carry the rest in - a snack for later.

She tilted her head up to look at Tyr and let out a small honk. "I won't forget! I'll drop by the next time I'm there!" Because that was Polaris, right? She had a ways to explore before she reached that particular cave, but she noted in her head to at least say hello when she was there. "See you later, Tyr!" She turned and watched him as he left the tunnel before turning back to her gemstone.

So, now she knew something. A little bit of something. Her head was too jumbled with thoughts of Tyr and the excitement of his magic and the discovery he'd made to properly think and sort through it, but she had a place to start. Carefully, she lifted the stone and set it in the basket, along with the bananas Tyr had left behind, before lifting it and waddling out of the tunnel.
