Snippet #2745702

River's eyes widened in sudden shock as an over-sized teddy bear suddenly appeared at a snap of the other girl's delicate fingers. It was clear the stuffed animal was not intended to cause any harm to River as it saluted her and turned to the source of magic that had brought it there. Then it clicked. I knew I felt something familiar in her. This has to be fae magic of some sort. My mother told me there were others around here. She must be one of them.

It seemed odd that the girl was so easily upset upon meeting River. It was almost as if the girl sensed River's familiar bloodline and disapproved. Was she hoping she was the only one of her kind here? River immediately assumed the girl felt some sort of jealousy at not being the only fae around. I guess it could make one feel less unique who is used to feeling that way. I've always wanted to meet someone I could share with. She watched as the girl comforted herself in the arms of the summoned bear. Luckily for River, it was not long before the girl was not so emotional anymore and the bear suddenly became a light cloud of smoke. However, the sudden switch of emotion made River feel a little wary of the girl.

The girl began her introduction again. As much as River was not sure of this other fae girl, she wasn't willing to turn down an opportunity to learn more and be closer to her kind. Maybe her fae abilities play into her emotions. She might need a friend. River offered a friendly smile. "Sure. I'd love to be friends. It seems you and I may have something in common. My name is River," she said while swirling her index finger in the air, producing a thin line of water that trailed it. She extended her lower palm outward and spread all of her fingers. The water became a mist in the air and disappeared.
