The Fledgling - Tumblr Posts
Fun fact, as well as being in Sex Education and Tin Can Audio's @camlannpod, Robyn also narrates the audiobook of Sistersong by Lucy Holland, who was one of my creative writing coursemates at university! WE'RE ALL CONNECTED IN THE ARTS, LUVVIES
"What do you say we update the traditional prayer? Just a little."
Kelwinn, the Fledgling – played by Robyn Holdaway
In your benevolence, the Fledgling appeals for Fair winds for the wing-trial.
@merelymatt says, I gave Robyn a challenge with this one, and they nailed the brief immediately. In most of our episodes, it's just the character and their god, and they can be honest about what they want (they might not always be being honest with themselves, but that's a discussion for another episode). Without giving too much away, what the Fledgling wants on the inside and what they have to say out loud that they want are two different things. They're also young enough not to be great at hiding that truth! And the truth is pushing up between every word Robyn utters, along with the frustration at not being allowed to just come out and say it.
So you can pray with a reasonable expectation of being heard by the divine, and knowing there's a genuine possibility of a miracle granting anything you can possibly dream of asking for.
What are the odds that doesn't lead to a world where people can fly?
In your benevolence,
hear the Fledgling's plea for fair winds for the wing-trial.
