Little Birds

[Rena]

Rena looked at Jewls, a feeling of...she didn't really know how to describe it. It was strange. Sure, she had her sister Nina. But they were not really close, not any more. The age difference. And they ran in different circles. Same with the other Roma she had known. She had her girlfriends among the other models. But there was also an element of competition there. Lyra was maybe the closest.

Add the fact she was Roma, an outsider, for most of her life....well, it wasn't like she really felt close to anyone these days.

And yet here there was a connection. A sense of kinship. Was it just their power? Maybe? Or was it this whole offer of a place for misfits? Because it did tug at her.

She smiled at Ilesha- her comment, anyway. Poor thing. She was definitely shy. There was no...condescension in her thought. Just recognition of her feeling. She momentarily put an encouraging hand on Ilesha's shoulder, but directed her words to Jewls, slow smile spreading. "Maybe I will." She nodded at her and Ilesha. "I have a lot to learn."

Then nodded to Ilesha. "I'd love to try that out. Is it, like in the app store?" She didn't know. Not like this world was familiar to her. Apparently, their magic was well known enough for someone to make something like it. What that meant, she didn't know.

Except that she hungered for it.
