livingmyths | 030: Shhh!

I'm free, right now. I'll have to come meet you.

Oh! Yes. I'd like that very much.

Alright. I'll come find my way to the roof then.

I'll be waiting for you.

Mat was more than a little glad for his luck. If it hadn't been for that, he wasn't sure he would have made up to the library so fast. His foxhead medallion was hanging outside his shirt as he stepped out onto the roof looking for Rain.

Rain saw him coming and smiled a little shyly. "Mat?"

He smiled back and nodded. "I am. You're Rain?"

"Yes," she said nodding herself. "It's nice to actually meet you."

"Yesterday was a little surprising but, I don't mind it so much now." Mat almost grinned. "You're even prettier in person."

She blushed. "Thank you. And you... well, I'd probably have been too shy to talk to you if I'd seen you in person first."

He laughed quietly. "I'm sorry. But you being shy adds something special. How long have you been here? In the City, I mean."

"About five months. Mostly spent here or in the forest," she said with a smile. "My friends just helped make me a sort of house there. It's beautiful."

"The forest? I've been in there before. I practice with my quarterstaff or my bow there." Neither of which he had with him right now. He nodded past her. "Were you watching anything from here?"

Rain nodded. "Yes. I know some people don't like it there, but I do. I always feel safer in the forest than in a building or something."

She gazed out over the City. "Nothing in particular. I just like to be up high. Sometimes I stretch out and watch the clouds or the stars at night. Sometimes I just like to watch the people down there and imagine about them."

"The place I grew up in had trees close by. All around really. My da taught me about being in the forests." Mat looked out at the view.

"It's nice up here. At home, things changed and I couldn't watch the clouds or the stars anymore. I miss it sometimes. Even though I get the chance to do that again here."

"Oh, that must have been nice," Rain said a little wistfully.

"What happened at home?" she asked.

He let out a sigh. "A war."

"Oh," she said quietly and reached out to touch his arm gently. "I'm so sorry."

"If I could be, I'd just be a simple gambler. Or maybe a farmer like my da." He touched the silver medallion hanging around his neck. "It's not that easy though."

She looked at the medallion curiously, then looked up at him, the tips of her fingers still resting on his arm. "Is there anything I can do to help?"

He smiled at her. "No. There's nothing that can be done from here." Mat nodded to indicate they should sit before he does so.

"What is it like where you live, Rain?"

Shall I come now?

Now is fine. I'd like to get started as soon as possible, after all.

I'll be right there then if you give me directions.
