Recluse: The closest thing I can relate it to is...selective listening. Your ears are hearing everything around you, but your brain only decides to focus on or can only intake so much at once. The eyes on my wings-and the one on my crown-all function, but selectively. I can alternate where I put that focus to have a clearer understanding of my surroundings.

That being said, when I'm not focusing on them, they react subconsciously to my thoughts and things that catch their interest...Which can make it difficult to mask my emotions completely.

Sage: My recluse was beyond understanding, and since then, we've tried to be a bit more open with one-another...For as much as we need to be. I am eternally grateful to him and do my best to show my appreciation every moment I can!

ASK VIRI-RECLUSE AND FAE SAGE IS OPEN!!

Sage: Hello invisible voices in my head!! What inquires will you pose us today??

Recluse: It's not often these days, but when he first started living here (I assume shortly after he escaped from the Tower), he would sit for hours at a time, seemingly staring at nothing...He tells me he was 'listening'. For who or what he hasn't shared with me, but I don't intend to pry.

Sage: Well I suppose if one were counting, it would be...a few months? I have known the Recluse for just over a year, and while he was quite callous at first, I noticed subtle changes in his behavior that indicated his impression of me was changing. Having never experienced much in the way of 'relationships' aside from my retainers and what semblance of 'care' I could glean from my mother, it took me quite some time before I realized that these might be signs of "affection".

Thankfully my Recluse was very patient with me and, when I finally came to my senses (with the help of some wise council from Star Moonstone Faerie) I asked if I could properly court him-and he agreed!!
