‘  i  sometimes  think  i  was  switched  out  at  birth,  like  a  lizard  in  a  bird’s  nest.  i  belong  somewhere  else.  ’

Lark tilts his head to examine the note. Not everyone can read and write here, which makes her mode of communication curious. Not nearly as curious, of course, as the contents of the note itself.

“A riddle?” It must be, yes? Or perhaps he’s putting too much stake on an innocuous sentence. It’s not like this is a life or death legend, so he smiles apologetically. “You must forgive me, I’m not terribly good at riddles.”

Maybe it’s simpler than he’s making it out to be. A sense of being misplaced. Loss of belonging. Where are you from, again?

“Is this philosophical?” His brows draw down in concern. “Or are you lost? I’m sure I could help you find someone to give you directions.” Well, unless… He glances over the note again. “Unless you’re a changeling. I’m not sure anyone here knows the way to the faerie realm.”
