Some are delighted at the happy spirits, others fearful and some react differently to different spirits!<br/><br/>While Wish and Agi have a hard time telling the mortals apart still, Rin, Aqua, and Rime can do so much more easily!<br/><br/>Rin finds it simple enough to keep herself hidden, taken the form of flame and hiding within candles and torches is not so hard for a fiery spirit like her! She reveals herself to the little ones, the mortals who came into focus. They are not as smart as baby elephants when they are very small, but the quickly become rather clever! Indeed Rin finds that many of the smaller ones are hidden away in a larger tent while the big ones are dancing about the fire. They see Rin with awe and wait to see what she has bought them! They do not seem so eager to fear, or to fall in supplication as the big ones. The world is still new to them. So a fiery woman coming from nothing is something they haven't seen before. A few days ago the whole island was that way!<br/><br/>Agi finds some mortals who are willing to trek to his springs and forage for fruit! They seem relieved that a large warm spirit will be leading the way through the snow. Some of the mortals, who Agi can't quite tell from the others, are warning that this is a trick, that the fiery lion will eat them! But those who agreed to go with Agi are willing to give it a chance! If Agi leads, they follow.<br/><br/>Rime's words are met with a mix of confusion and relief.<em>Not gods, not gods</em>several mortals think, both relaxing and disappointing at the same time. It is a curious response...<br/><br/><br/><br/>
