"Are we all. . .like this?" he asked, looking from face to face around him.
"We all have taken service with the land," Bonny said briskly. "Each in our own way."
"'cept Sally," said Vornflee.
"Sally's a cat," Moss said. "Even I know that."
"That's right," Felsic said. "Now, how're you feeling, brother Moss?"
Moss laughed, and sat up, full of energy and delight. He felt a chipmunk run light over the land, pine cone in his mouth, and grinned.
"Thank you," he said, to all of them gathered, and those others, who were listening in through their own connection to a piece of land, or a slice of marsh, or a rock, or a tree. He could. . .almost. . .see them all, behind his eyes. Soon, he'd sort them out.
"You okay with this, Moss?" Felsic asked him, and Moss laughed again.
"I'm home," he said; "and I ain't never leaving. Hard to be any more okay than that."
