The Life Seed

Quietly taking a seat beside the fairy, Elaina put a bait on the end of the fishing rod's line and cast it over to the water. She didn't look beside her but instead focused on the water. But she didn't ignore the little fairy completely and instead, without looking at her, started talking and discussing matters with her.

"So, how are you feeling now?" Elaina asked, still had her eyes on the water.

"Depressed," the fairy flatly said, without giving any interest in adding more to what she just said.

"Straight to the point but I know you are depressed. What I am specifically asking is how depressed are you right now?"

"..." The fairy did not say anything and just stared into the water where the bobber was floating on the surface.

"...that bad huh."

"I didn't say anything."
