“Bout this much,” I said, reaching into the bag of gummy bears and pulling one out and holding it between my thumb and forefinger before popping it in my mouth. One cannot eat just a single one though so I grabbed a handful and chewed down on them while I thought on her question.
“No, Rogust doesn’t really care about that as long as you’re moderately polite. He likes nature and he likes stories,” I explained. I always wondered if Rogust was the inspiration for Rhadagast the Brown and old JRR was actually in the know with some of the supernatural community. “Some Fae are fine with very little contact with others but Rogust... I worry that without someone to tell his stories to he’ll forget himself. I’m hoping that bringing someone new, with good stories of their own, and that he’ll want to impress will help remind him of who he is.”
Sometimes people lost who they were and became someone or something else. Sometimes that was a natural part, butterflies and all that. Other times it was less natural and more... I don’t know. More tragic. And I felt like if Rogust lost who he was the world would be lesser for it. I know I can’t save everyone but if I can save one being just chatting with them? Then I’ll do that.
