Phoenixes were rare creatures for him to care for. They rarely truly passed from the world so most often his task was to see that their souls were kept safe until they were strong enough to return to their ashes. Only once in a sad time would they have to remain with him if their ashes were tampered with. So this one he knew well even he knew that Gaja would not be aware of how he knew him.

He watched him a little more then nodded once. "It perhaps...felt like quiet dream to you," he whispered softly, the words somehow carrying to the creature despite that.

"It is not your time though. You have nothing to fear."
