Crow’s Best Night

Crow’s Best Night

Crow: Hey Guardian.

Crow: There was one night early in my stay with Spider — I don't remember why he was angry, either I did something stupid or said something smart — but he kicked me out.

Crow: I'm sitting in this alley on the Tangled Shore next to piles of scrap and garbage… feeling like I belong there, and these three Eliksni approach me.

Crow: Now I'm not in the best place emotionally so… I pull myself together and stand up, ready to spend the rest of the night dead. But… they just say "Velask". That means "Hello".

Crow: And… they bring me inside a little market, push a warm cup of something into my hands and start talking to me.

Crow: I say talking, but they only spoke Eliksni. They'd point to something and they'd say what it was and I'd repeat it, and [scoffs] they'd laugh. That sort of thing.

Crow: And then [mechanical sounds] we hear music from somewhere a few doors down.

Hope For The Future begins to play.

Crow: So, they got up and started — well I wouldn’t call it dancing exactly — but they were definitely moving.

Crow: I was just sitting there… watching them while this ethereal music is bleeding out of some club.

Crow: And you know… it was honestly one of the best nights I've ever had.

Hope For The Future continues to play in the background.
