Knowing to Know

Description

    With all the years she and Pluné had been together, Karu had always been curious of something... did her phoenix mount care for her as much as she did for him? How did he feel it? Was it protective, familial, or maybe it's actually both?
    She had to know....
    With her fractures of her soul and desires as a Dreamer, half-switching with a non-Dream entity was going to be messy, but possible. Standing outside with the 7-foot tall phoenix, she stared into his sun yellow eyes and smiled. Despite his only having a beak, Plun
é smiled with a subtle trill in his throat, and to the young Dreamer it felt like he knew exactly what she was thinking. Karu pressed into feathery, warm chest and cleared her mind, feeling only his heartbeat on her cheek. An exhilarated, knock-you-off-your-feet wave of emotions rushed over Karuni and her entire being went pure white with a sudden crack like an earthquake in her very center.
    Without knowing how long they were out, this new creature slowly regained consciousness. Their mind raced, yet was silent. It ran endlessly with bouts and surges of emotions that their mind could barely hold it in. One distinctly overpowered it all though... devotion... driven by a trust that ran deeper than the fissure in the Outlands. Karu understood now. Pluné, the phoenix who she saved as an abandoned chick - stranded on the cliff side of a volcano, saw her as nothing less than the single soul he trusted above all others.
    She was content now, but she didn't want to let go of this fleeting moment. As far as she could tell, 
Pluné didn't either as well.

So yeah! I got to thinking I wanted to explore Pluné's backstory a bit, with throwing in a little more detail on Karu!
