[flayn seems perfectly comfortable with this, bumping shoulders with beau in return as she watches the line for the sign that a fish might be nibbling at their bait]
Yes. It is important to stay very, very still so that we do not scare them off.
My birthday falls on the same day as Saint Cethleann Day — there are festivals throughout Fódlan, and it is much livelier at the monastery then. There are usually activities of some kind in town...
Ah, and then a few weeks after that is the Goddess' Rite of Rebirth. People come from all over Fódlan to celebrate when the Blue Sea Star reappears in the sky.
It appears in the sky during the Blue Sea Moon, and disappears during the Ethereal Moon. It is believed that it is the home of the Goddess, and that it was from there that Saint Seiros descended...
[flayn realizes, as she's explaining, that there is a lot of knowledge she just sort of takes for granted that other people will know. even more than a month away from fódlan, old habits are hard to break.
her voice trails off.]
...ah, I have not really explained about the Goddess, Seiros, and the Four Saints, have I?
I see. Well... I hope what I have to say is not anything you have already heard - I would hate to bore you.
[but, hmmm, where to start, where to start...]
As the legends tell it, the goddess Sothis watches over the land of Fódlan. There came a time when the world had great need of someone to do her will - and so Saint Seiros appeared in the land of Enbarr and began to work miracles. The land was stricken by war, and following a revelation from the Goddess, the people who would become the Four Saints - Saint Indech, Saint Macuil, Saint Cichol, and his daughter Saint Cethleann - joined forces with Saint Seiros to restore peace to the people.

[ she sort of laughs. ] You can tell me about it if you want. I like hearing about other people's worlds.
