[ when the feed turns on, there is a man with large white wings standing too close. he squints at it quizzically before moving back with a frown that barely mars his beauty. his wings flap erratically behind him. ]

My sister, Leanne, seems to be missing. I have searched everywhere but she cannot be found. I — [ reyson bites it off, frustrated before taking a deep breath. ] — I will assume she has returned home as I know there have been cases of people . . . leaving. And I have no reason to suspect foul play. The Gods have deemed it so.

[ but, oh, it is a bitter pill that for a moment his face cracks from the effort from it. but reyson has borne worse. ]

Perhaps . . . if you could, please share some words or prayer to your own Gods to watch over her. Or share me stories of your deities. Are they kind? Cruel? Are Gods strangers to you?

[ okay. a lot of details there. ]

I . . . see. Does your lord spend time with his . . . enemies?

[morality_pet]

Nope. [ She shakes her head ]

He only visits from time to time. But he wants Rin to be safe, and Rin will be safe there. Lord Inuyasha will make sure of it.

[heron]

I find it all very strange.

[morality_pet]

[ She shrugs - lots of people tell her that too! ]

Rin wouldn't know, it's the only life Rin has!

[heron]

Fair enough.

I don't think I have ever been that comfortable with my enemies.

[morality_pet]

[ She shrugs ]

Rin thinks its because Lord Inuyasha is Lord Sesshoumaru's brother. Family is important! And they don't like each other, but Lord Sesshoumaru knows, Lord Inuyasha would never willingly hurt a human.

[heron]

I suppose being family would complicate matters.

[morality_pet]

Adults are weird. [ She says and then laughs ] That's what Shippo says. But Rin thinks so sometimes too.

[heron]

You're not wrong.

Humans are particularly strange to me.

[morality_pet]

What's your family like, Prince Reyson?

[heron]

Gentle. Kind. They loved to sing and they loved nature. My family was incapable of hurting anyone and anything.

[morality_pet]

They sound really nice. But if they can't hurt anyone, isn't that dangerous?

[heron]

It is. It is our one weakness. We have no strength and we cannot fight.

[morality_pet]

[ She hugs him ]

Rin is sure Prince Reyson did his level best to protect them anyway. There's lots of different ways to fight!

[heron]

[ reyson huffs. ]

I believe I told you that recently.

[morality_pet]

[ She giggles up at him ]

Yep! So Prince Reyson should take his own advice!

[heron]

[ he sighs. ]

I would be a hypocrite if I did not.

[morality_pet]

[ She giggles and leans against him ]

Rin is sure Prince Reyson will do an amazing job.

[heron]

Thank you, Rin.

End here?

[morality_pet]

You're welcome!
