We've been getting back in touch with 'Proto-TROUF' these days, as ya'll might have noticed in a couple of the most recent stories. The original owner of the Codex Crystal, before Blue, was Leffita, scholar elf of the Library of Skye. Leffi is a traveling scholar who can't stay in one place for very long. Here's a playlist I put together to listen to when I'm writing stories that feature her. - Rachel
Record Collector
1. Have You Ever - Brandi Carlile
"Have you ever wandered lonely through the woods? And everything there feels just as it should. You're part of a life there, you're part of something good, if you've ever wandered lonely through the woods."
2. Everybody's Talkin' - Harry Nilsson
"I'm going where the sun keeps shining through the pouring rain. Going where the weather suits my clothes. Banking off of the northeast winds I'll be sailing on a summer breeze. Skipping over the ocean like a stone."
3. Record Collector - Lissie
"But my blue eyes cannot see that their real hue's probably green. I will keep records of these things and I'll know what yesterdays bring."
4. Memories & Dust - Josh Pyke
"I landed in the garden longing for the view behind the fence, oh my god. I prayed my bones weren't brittle for the air we float on can be dense. Oh, the weight, oh, it aches."
5. Closer to Fine - Indigo Girls
"There's more than one answer to these questions pointing me in a crooked line. And the less I seek my source for some definitive, the closer I am to fine."
6. Blue Sky - The Allman Brothers Band
"Walk along the river, sweet lullaby. It just keeps on flowing, it don't wonder 'bout where it's going."
7. A Matter of Minutes - Shawn Colvin
"You can call me crazy but, you know this time time I swore that I wouldn't run, but I can't do that anymore. I can't find a way to stay and I can't see my way to go, but I can't give up without a fight."
8. Land of Canaan - Indigo Girls
"You can go to the east to find your inner hemisphere. You say we're under the same sky, babe, don't you realize? Honey, it's not that clear."
9. Wilder (We're Chained) - Brandi Carlile
"Wilder than a brush fire burns deep inside the bramble, baby I think god made your soul born to ramble. Maybe you'll take to the faraway places, where life is gonna deal you a handful of aces."
10. All Fall Down - Shawn Colvin
"If I've seen it once, I've seen it time and again. You don't know where you're going, don't know where you are, you don't know where you've been."
11. See How I Run - Jessie Baylin
"I'm not stopping, waiting on nothing. Moving quickly, trying to catch what's mine, what's destined inside the dreamer. I'll be rushing, making a lot of noise. Take my jacket, all my belongings. I don't need them, they do me no good. They weigh me down, this living is so heavy. And I need space to get on a higher plane."
12. Traveling Alone - Tift Merritt
"I know that the world is mean. I know it don't care. I've been around, I've seen it. It's like a pretty girl who don't even know. You're bound to get a taste of traveling alone."
13. Lost in My Mind - The Head and the Heart
"How's that brick-laying coming? How's your engine running? Is that bridge getting built? Are your hands getting filled. Won't you tell me, my brother? Cause there are stars up above. We can start moving forward."
14. Go Wherever You Wanna Go - Patty Griffin
"You can get up on some sunny day and run. Run a hundred miles just for fun now. Heartaches and yesterdays don't weigh a ton now. You can get up on some sunny day and run."
