Chapter 5: the moose shall reconcile its wonder

Summary:

a moose, a leveret, a kid, and the very bark that makes up our trees.
as well as a knight and a playwright.
a harpy, a hare, and a hound. and we can never forget our tempest, of course.
what do all of these beings have in common?
love

Notes:

this is an epilogue of sorts.

Peregrine has come to the conclusion it didn't really know what love was before the events of the past few weeks.

They were one to exude much brevity, keeping things clear and concise, never using more words than necessary. But it simply couldn't describe what they felt with all of their friends with them, as well as Cooper and the Playwright, all speaking of feelings.

Cooper had the idea to have them all voice emotions that needed to be given a voice once a week- Tuesdays- from now on. And things had gotten better. It was the first week of this new practice. A kid was to speak of feelings, adults gave advice and thoughts, and the next kid went.

There was something so distinctly... loving. Peregrine felt overwhelmed in the best way possible.

It no longer felt a burden for expressing these complicated notions. That's what they were there for, wasn't it? It would be a waste not to talk.

Everyone was in support of each other. Everyone always would be in support of each other. Reassurance was a given.

Through everything that had happened, the wound on their arm a reminder, it knew one thing: it belongs here.

Though they still couldn't believe that things could be this good.

And the following morning... It wore a flower crown it braided with Clementine.

Notes:

its done!
now... on to cole.
