"Kai!" Aisling waves merrily at the foxkin, automatically scooching over to make room for her friend, copying her in ordering a nonalcoholic drink. Her head whips back to Johm and Jinn as they manage to answer her word vomit, grin widening. "Yay! Thanks! I'll bring you the things and fill you in on who they need to go to before you go on your travels."
She kicks her legs back and forth excitedly under the table, paying for her drink when it comes and taking a quaff of the cool beverage. Violet gaze flicking to Billin, she answers Jinn and him in one. "I found Siegart! He asked me to, and I said yes. The unicorn agreed, she said I was, like, pure-hearted or something? Honestly, I didn't know any part of me could still be pure, but there you go. I can be in the forest without being killed because they named me as a Guardian in the ritual, I guess? I wasn't there to see it, Siegart sent me to go get the unicorn and tell her the forest was ready." The Tari Nor youth takes a moment to ponder, sipping from her drink all the while, expression introspective.
"And, well, I did it for a few reasons. One, Siegart asked me to and he's one of my bestest friends, two, forests are awesome and magic forests are even more awesome, three, there was a unicorn involved, four, I met some Guardians of another forest through the Mists and they were really inspiring, five, being a Guardian is kind of cool, and, hmm, six, I wanted to contribute in my own way. Signing on to protect a magic forest for the rest of my life seemed like a good way to do that. If my being alive helps keep the forest alive, it's worth it, right?" She shrugs, managing to be both irreverent and meaningful at the same time, always a study in contradictions.
"You guys should totally explore it once the growth settles down. Just be careful, it's a fae forest, not a regular one." Nudging closer to Kai, she beams at her fox friend, wriggling excitedly. "Wow, you have chickens? Can I pet the chickens?"
