[He has had time to collect himself; to not give into fear immediately - though that had been a challenge! His appearance is likely startling - unless his shay'kreth'ashke is well known. From his white hair to his icy blue eyes, Moondance will be easily recognized both on the network and off.]

Bright the day, my friends. I do not know what to say of our accommodations, though I count it promising that we are alive. My name is Moondance k'Treva and I am what is known as a Healing-Adept. What that means is: I am able to heal people as well as places.

[The second portion of his power has been taken from him - though he does not realize it yet. His merry, inviting tone is punctuated with a shyer smile.]

Now, tell me where it hurts, hm? I will feel better if I am busy, so think of this as you doing me a favor!

Silly perhaps, but he hasn't forbade it.

[He smiles.]

Perhaps for some more so than others. Is there much call to hide who you are?

audio

[moondancing]

He wouldn't forbid me much.

[Moondance is perpetually on Starwind's good side.]

Yes. My family did not agree with my attractions and they were prepared to send me to a monastery.

audio

[itsnothingpersonal]

I see. [There's a beat before he continues.] What do your attractions have to do with your hair color?

[moondancing]

I would not have become a Tayledras if I had not...been as I am. [He sighs, wincing.] I killed my first love in a fit of rage. I was...broken...and the Tayledras put me back together.

[itsnothingpersonal]

Well, there was your first mistake: falling in love.

audio

[moondancing]

What is wrong with loving? With being loved?

Re: audio

[itsnothingpersonal]

Simply put? All of the loss.

audio

[moondancing]

Is it not worthwhile nonetheless?

audio

[itsnothingpersonal]

[instead of answering directly, he instead poses a question.]

Tell me, how long do your kind live?

audio

[moondancing]

Magic prolongs our lives. I could perhaps live double the normal human life span.

[If he isn't killed.]

audio

[itsnothingpersonal]

I see. Imagine 5,000 years. It's quite a long time to live with regret.

audio

[moondancing]

I understand your choice, though I argue that your joy would outlive your regret.

audio

[itsnothingpersonal]

[He chuckles.]

Your opinion is duly noted.

[Even though he disagrees.]

audio

[moondancing]

Keep your heart open. Think of it like this: we are only here for a short time. Why not take advantage? What is there to fear?

audio

[itsnothingpersonal]

[He chuckles, perhaps overselling it a bit.]

I'm afraid of nothing.

audio

[moondancing]

Attachment seems to frighten you. [JUST SO YOU KNOW.]

audio

[itsnothingpersonal]

[No fair.]

I beg your pardon?

audio

[moondancing]

You heard me. I wonder where it began? And what will end it.

audio

[morethanatrickster]

There's nothing to end. [And his tone is final.]

audio

[moondancing]

So you say, young god. So you say.
