Terra lounged near one wall, eyes closed, listening. The falling rain drummed out a beat. People's voices swarmed into a quiet clammer about her, irrelevant & yet, a key core to this song of life. Muffled neighs came through the wall, the stables adding their own element to the song. But it was the door that broke the rhymth. A wave of grumbling voices raised and lowered - as if in defense of the cold draft that was already swirling past them. And with that, the magic was broken.<br/><br/>A darker voice hissed, frustration filling her mind. Annoyance paced across Terra's thoughts, though none of the feeling was her own. The demon bound within her skin itched with frustration - still unable to understand this simple pleasure in listening to the world for one quiet moment. Terra spoke, her voice aimed at her demon, with the quiet confidence. "How am I ever going to understand the greatest pleasures, when my teacher can't appreciate the most delicate of sensations?" Terra couldn't help herself as the demon's anger bit back whatever snideful remark it wanted to make. And though she knew she shouldn't, she couldn't help but shake with a mirthful smile. "Perhaps I could teach you about cloud watching next?" They quipped often - a strange conversation since only Terra herself could hear & feel the Demon's responses. But Terra was quite sure the demon enjoyed their little quips as much as she did. Perhaps it was the solitude - The demon didn't have anyone else to torment besides Terra. She was the closest thing to a friend the creature had ever had. Perhaps, loneliness could be the greatest curse of all?<br/><br/>Terra's eyes lifted from her from thoughts - taking focus on the boy's letter. She lost her smile as she rose. Heading over, Terra leaned in to read the letter over the holder's shoulder. "If we have a prophet, we should seek out our future. I do hope we get lost along the way - I've never heard of a prophet telling ordinary days & quiet pleasures."<br/><br/>Perhaps out of wariness, perhaps because of the Demon within, Terra lifted her gaze to the boy. Her eyes blazed as she sought for any evil within his heart. She wanted to trust him - but she remembered how kind the Demon had seemed before... Before the battle. Evil could lurk inside anyone.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;">OOC: Detect Evil on the Boy.</span>
