[As the feed begins, it's probably not difficult to tell that Eley is in another of his thoughtful moods, and is likely about to pose a question to the Lucetians once again. For even though the Spirit had learned of the concept of 'fun', there was still something that seemed to run alongside this that he hadn't quite found an understanding for. One might call it a sense of humour.]
What exactly does it mean to tell a 'joke'? And how can you tell the difference between one that is good and one that is bad?
[Action]
[Another Christmas had passed, embarrassing moments exchanged but also good, positive moments as well. Though Eley did not usually have much of a sense of time, other than the seasons coming and going, these human holidays always seemed to make the time pass much faster for him, he was finding.
That didn't mean that he wanted time to pass that quickly, however, and now Eley was trying to find a moment to sit and relax. This time, he found himself in the forest, wondering how much of it might have changed since he'd arrived after all the fighting and experiments... Saleh had shown him how to build a bonfire and despite his instinctive wariness of the fire, there had been something strangely relaxing about staring into the gently flickering flames. He didn't have Saleh's magic to make the fire with, but he could at least practice the construction. So anyone who's passing through might find him searching for large stones and tinder, or wander past a half-constructed stone circle that the Spirit had left nearby.]

Like having a house, and someone to talk to. Not having to escort dead people to their next destination. Tsuzuki was grateful for that, even though he missed his friends. And because he missed his friends, he tended to seek out the friends he had made in Luceti, like Eleytheria. He didn't know what to make of the collection of rocks and twigs, however.]
Stones? Why do you want stones?
[action]
I wanted to attempt to construct a bonfire. The stones help to contain the fire, yes?
Unfortunately, I do not have the means to light the fire. Still, I thought it may be useful to practice setting the materials.
[action]
I think so. Are you going to make a big one?
[action]
[Never mind the fact that fire still made him a little wary. It was an element unfamiliar to the Spirits of Aether. As far as he was aware, none of his kind had the ability to manipulate it. Only humans had that gift.]
I recently shared the company of a friend beside one of them. I found it oddly relaxing to sit and watch the flames. Perhaps... I wished to recreate that setting.
[He looks to Tsuzuki at that, glad for the help.]
I would be honoured to sit beside you this time, if you wished to join me.
[action]
[He beams, and the change of his mood is so easily seen in his expression. Tsuzuki wants nothing more than to spend time with him.]
I would love that, Eley. Thank you for inviting me.
[action]
It caused him to sigh audibly. But the Spirit didn't really want to dwell on that subject, knowing what Tsuzuki had lost recently. He took more of a permanent seat next to his ring of stones, prodding at the tinder as if fire might appear suddenly...]
I... hope you have been faring well lately.
