The feathers, snagged upon the Thorns, quiver in anticipation as Rick gets nearer and he can see how the red fur seems to entwine each one in almost a loving embrace. More peculiar seems to be that where the lightning has struck, a single burn line traces its way down from the tip of the branch down to the fur and feather bindings, but not stopping there.
Where the burn mark has touched the feather and fur bond, it has caused them both to not only fuse as one but also glimmer like a distant star and from the corner of the Elemental's eye, a whole wall of the Hedge is like a prickly curtain of feather-fur stars.
Rick needs to make an Intelligence + Occult roll please
