Adrie and Faral

Elf Adrie  creeps into surviving
elongaged Germanic black forest shadows 
Boichem,  tolerant gargoyle, pretends indifference. 
They have pussyfooted around each other for decades
Pretending the other does not exist. 
Adrie sends up a plea to her cousin Faral, the half-faery
Who replies, but is eaten by gargoyle upon forest entry.

O dear! I'm sure Faral didn't think he was going to be a midnight snack for the gargoyle! I always enjoy your "fairie" tales Caren. Sending you harvest blessings!

I am sure that he did not, but was he careful? Apparently not.
