"Both work."
She sighed,
"But one can be disturbing."

"I'd prefer the other, then."
Arannis' simple tone showed his sincerity.
"I'm not about to ruin this by asking for what I know I'll regret."

She nodded,
"I'm an Earth Spirit, Capable of Manipulating Plants. Trees, Bushes, Vines, you name it. As long as it's still alive. I can even feel them. I'm immortal, in the ageless sense, but I can die just as easily as any other human."

"Nature's incarnate, then... I must admit, I've never known such a being before."

"Something like that. There's actually quite a few of us. We just like to spread ourselves out..."
She slid down into the mud a few inches.

"Fair enough."
Arannis thought for a moment, but dismissed the notion without any further reaction, still unwilling to bring up various elements of his past.

"So,"
She smiled and slid up a bit again, suddenly chipper,
"What's your story, stranger?"

"Only that of a lone mercenary. I travel, here and there, realm to realm. Every calling taking me to yet another battle, another war. Only recently I managed to avenge my homeworld, Celestia..."
He thought for a moment.
"...but I am fortunate to never have truly been alone in all of that."

"Tell you what."
She turned to face him, propping her head up on her hand,
"I'll tell you my whole history if you tell me yours."

"What...?"
Arannis gasped slightly, overcome by the sheer length of his story so far.
"This would take weeks, Thea... but there is an alternative. Fine, then. I will hear your tale."

"Ah ah ah!"
She waved a finger back and forth,
"We have a long time. I want to hear yours first!"

(Holy Hell... I'm going to regret this, aren't I?)
"It started some 2,700 years ago... I was sent as a mercenary to aid Divinus in its struggles against a once-unknown adversary......"
(I'm skipping the next two hours, for crying out loud. It's going to take that long, at the very least.)
"......which found me here, quite accidentally, so it seems."

She shuddered,
"He sounds..."

"Vile, to say the very least. There aren't any kind words that I'm aware of that could possibly fit him. One of a pair, that one..."

She shuddered just as he attendant walked in,
"Alright, time for you two to shower, and then soak in the hot tub!"
She really was almost as chipper as Thea.
