Mairi listens quietly, lost in the beautiful imagery he paints with his words.

Her druidcraft has always drawn her to the stars. Living near the Sea of Falling Stars was part of it, but there was something about that endless black with its necklace of diamonds strewn across the void that connected with her soul. Maybe sometime she'd show Tarantulas her astral forms as well.

And with the tales of adventure and war came a somber love story that ends with... nothing. No romantic reunion, no triumphant self betterment resulting in the closure of realizing that the lousy ex was no longer needed... Just sacrifice that fell on deaf ears.

She stays close, huddled up beside him by the fire. As he speaks, Mairi's little coral pink toes gently press onto and lift away from various parts of Tarantulas' body on instinct. Spiders don't show affection terribly frequently, but that's one way.

"So much can happen in a life that long," she muses. "I do and I don't envy you."
