[ But not always. So she's not always listening, always watching? That seems good. (Himeka does know a bit what that's like, even if it's somewhat in hindsight.) Having the help of another is important but privacy is just as, especially for someone like Wanda who keeps things so close to her chest.

She begins to set out the jars that she'll be using to dish out Wanda's rations as well as the offering to Soris. Everyone gets some tasty porridge this morning, even the old gods.

She does pause, of course, at Wanda mentioning her own condition and offers a wry smile of her own. Himeka would offer to help however she can, but she recognizes that's an attempt to assuage her worry and magical intervention before it's presented. ]


Well, if you do start feeling off, just let me know. I'll always be happy to come and fetch you.

[ And it's even easier now that they have some faster mounts at their disposal. ]

I have been wondering about that, though...for the most part the magicks here just feel like different methods of application, but...is it different with the gods? Where does their power come from?

[ She'll take Wanda's promise at face value. While Wanda certainly doesn't need the help in terms of power, strength, or determination...she knows that support comes in many different forms.

In her mind, magic does just exist in nature, but what is the nature of that magic? Her experiences no with aether and dynamis makes her wonder what other types may be out there and how they shape the universe as they know it.

Grand, big thoughts...too big for her. (She always feels that way, no matter how far she's traveled and what she's seen. She's not a thinker, you see. She's a doer.)

But Wanda's thoughts do put back in the front of her mind what she'd always wondered about the gods-- ]


Do you think they take the forms of what they want to be? Or what the people who worship them want to be? Or are they just...as they are?

[ Himeka nods in agreement. There has to be some validity to the story of their creation, even if it's not quite literal. The differences between the cardinal gods and the old old gods--she feels there may be more consciousness and purpose in the former, but she's not sure. As if the eldest are forces of nature. ]

What is baba yaga?

[ At the very least, Himeka has always been a fan of stories. And if this is something from Wanda's world, whether it's helpful to them or not, it's one she wants to know.

The jars assembled, she wraps them together into a little cloth bag--something easy for Wanda to slip into a sack of her own or onto a mount if she wishes. ]

[ She smiles a little bit--it wasn't exactly the entire intention. Maybe just a little bit of it, at least because she does want to gauge how well Wanda is doing. They can be open about things now, but Wanda herself is still someone to hold things close to her chest if she can. And, maybe, Himeka just enjoys their little talks.

That's not too bad, is it?

The description of the woman in addition to her very particular house, however, is one that gives Himeka considerable pause. She blinks, magenta eyes widening. ]


She's--they're like the Haggard!

[ There's absolutely no way that's a coincidence. How many houses have chicken feet? ]

Are you able to make deals with a Baba Yaga as well?
