Ebbie definitely noticed that Remi had relaxed quite a bit while they were talking and seemed to be growing more comfortable. Body language was an important thing for any fae to learn and note when they were talking to someone. It reveals threats and knowing how someone is feeling could be used as leverage. While her people were not quite as devious and malicious as some fae, they still thought and worked in similar ways.
However to Ebbie the relaxation wasn't really something to use in this case. It was just something that made her happy to see. They had both agreed to being friends and Ebbie absolutely meant it. There was no further gain to be sought other than just enjoying the fact that she had made a solid friend.
Of course i'm right Remi. "I don't like to lie," she chuckled. "Though concealing some of your emotions from those you do not trust is not unwise." She was being light-hearted about it but the truth was there were plenty of people who wouldn't hesitate to use Remi's affection against her.
Wait wait wait. I can't always think that way. Giving her advice to protect herself is fine and the right thing to do as a friend but making her paranoid would be wrong. She is not fae and shouldn't have to suffer the same problems that plague me here socially.
Much like the butterflies fluttering in Remi's stomach, Ebbie's very real versions were also fluttering drunkenly as they discussed Ebbie's partner. "Liri is quite attractive," she nodded and then smiled at the multiple meanings that word held. The other spriggan was beautiful, yes, but her empathic bond to nature meant that plantlife was physically drawn to her too. "I would consider most of my partners to have been beautiful in their own various ways. As for the difficulty with cultures clashing, I don't know that I have very many answers for how to handle that. You can see that i'm out here in the woods and not there in town." She wasn't entirely sure how she was helping Remi but they were both out in nature and not having any weird conflicts so perhaps that was what she meant.
Ebbie allowed Remi's hand to touch her shoulder without complaint and several butterflies even shifted out of her way. Her shoulders were protected on the outermost layer by thick but flexible living wood. Like everything else about her true form it gave off the distinct feeling of something alive. Something that could be dangerous if it had to be but otherwise just wanted to be nurtured and protected.
They continued walking through the woods and Ebbie used one of her vines to gently move one of the branches out of their way, allowing it to return to its position unharmed when they passed.
"Fire and earth making plants grow hmm? Like a brush fire clearing out the area for new growth then. It isn't that I would necessarily dislike those attuned to the element of fire or things of that nature. It is the active flames themselves that bother me so as long as they are under control and not burning things near me it should be manageable. I would appreciate the knowledge on how to determine the elements your people are linked to, but you do seem to have visible hints of your elements on your bodies."
