The tall High Fae meandered down a path leading through the flower filled gardens around his house out toward the woods. He had his hands in his pockets, a comfortable pace in his step, and his gaze turned up toward the summery sky. Despite the heat he wore his typical black attire, though this was a fitted shirt with silver threads and short sleeves rather than his long jacket. He hummed, taking a glance back at the house before he disappeared into the cooler shade of the forest.

I'm going for a stroll, Rhysand said down the mating bond to Katherine. I'll bring you back a present. He sent the image of a cheeky grin along with his words before he continued to focus on picking his way through the wood. A crackle in the distance, maybe fifty feet North of him, gave him pause.

It was either one of those monsters everyone was so worried about, a spider like that Katherine had faced, or someone else among the trees. He was hopeful it was the latter.

"Hello?" the lord called lazily as he stood in place. "Is someone there?"

Lucy had to bite her cheek, holding in an argument that if he was the most powerful, he would not be trapped on the island. "Would you use it against the man if you could?" She asked, finding herself curious. She had long ago made the decision that she would always do what needed to be done.

"Could she fly with her wings?" Lucy asked, wondering if she was the only one to have useless wings. If Rhysand hadn't been letting her fly with him, she would have been jealous. "I've known a few people who prayed." Islanders, people that had been lost despite their prayers. "I think I like the idea of praying to a female."

The most powerful was certainly a degree measured by realm. This realm was not of his own and, sadly, he was not the most powerful among the islanders or that who toyed with them. But, perhaps, he was one of them. Admittedly, Rhysand did not want to have to find out.

"Under normal circumstances...no. But in this place, yes. I would." He'd rip the Man apart.

"Yes, but as I mentioned, women weren't allowed. So...it was a complicated situation. She had obviously received favor from the Lord of the court but it meant nothing. She was still strict. She did not help us as we grew--but in not doing so, she was the greatest help of all." He chuckled. "She didn't show pity or favoritism. We just worked hard."

Lucy gave a nod of approval. This was the only place she'd ever known. From the stories she'd heard about life in other worlds and other realms, she knew it wasn't normal. There had to be a better existence and that was worth using every means at their disposal.

"I was raised in different styles." Lucy commented, thinking back to the people that had stepped in after her parents and so many other children's parents were died or disappeared. "Some people were strict, some hands off and others more nurturing. I don't know which was the greatest help to me. Maybe it was the combination." It took an island to raise a child in her time.

	"It takes a village," Rhysand said in response before going silent. He held Lucy tight, surely and safely that she would not fall, as they swooped over the island's city. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yes, that's it." Lucy watched the ground below them, in awe of the life and the buildings. It was as if she was seeing a different world. "It's all so beautiful." (Reply to this) (Parent)
