Tristan glanced over the edge of the branch, down at Aerin and smiled to himself, slowly descending with grace and speed. "Good day, lady," he greeted, nodding to her politely.

"Good day," she said, swinging her braid over her shoulder as he landed lightly on the ground. "I came to speak with you about the storm, but since you were aloft it would seem you are already aware." She didn't know how to politely ask what he planned to do about it, and so hoped instead he would offer the information unasked.

and after the storm...
