So tuckered and worn out from her expenditure of fire, she still turned the super important question over and over in her little brain. "No no.." the sleepy spirit mumbled "Rideymathings are for snow...Shinymathing is for pretty..." she had sagely advised, before snuggling back into the trunks embrace for a recharge.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>When she was summoned to meet the Wise Old Elephant again she was excited, even if the Wise Old Elephant looked sleepy. She wondered if she'd like to take a nap with all her spirity friends. When the babyphants were bid to go play, Rin almost followed them. Play? Play! But...something kept her there. And as the Wise Old Elephant bade her farewell, Rin watched. Since becoming one with fire she saw things ina new way sometimes if she really really focused. And she watched as the Elephant's warmth simply...left her.<br/><br/>"Cold..." came the whisper from her lips, though whether describing the Elephant or the new skeletal friend, one would be hard pressed to say. But she followed after, because she trusted the Elephant implicitly, and if she said it was ok to come and safe and see then it was ok. Of that Rin had no doubt. Her little flame flickered as she floated along after them and happily wriggled about as she watched the Elephant be reunited with others. She remembered how tired the Elephant had been during their mountain trip, but now it looked like she could run up them.<br/><br/>New place though, new things. She zipped about from left to right, up to down, like a shimmering flickering firefly as she did looking here there and everywhere, though she kept the hooded one in sight, a little thought came into her flamey brain as she hovered back slowly, turning and peering out into...and past the jungle she could see, turning up to the reaper she tilted her head (and whole body) "Stay near new friends voice....why? If not...what?"
