The first thing that grabs it’s hook into you is the scent. Not of any one thing in particular, but the palette as a whole. Your understanding of what should be entering your nostrils right now is always distorted in the Fae Realm. Even with their eyes closed, they know the terrain that they lie in. They can feel the blades of grass pass through their fingers, hear the leaves rustle in the wind and hear the birdsong, well it’s a Fae Realm so it’s a fucked up bird, but you get it.

Tax has been awake for 2 minutes, and compartmentalizing these things is hard.
