the girl who married a raven

one time i had a dream that i knew the girl who married a raven. 

when they got married she didn't know he was a raven. this was something that was revealed after the fact. perhaps they could have procured an annulment, but the girl was mostly happy. if something was in a high cabinet in the kitchen, and she couldn't reach it, the raven could always bring it down for her. he could be considerate and turn on the lights when it got dark. she also said he was good to have around if she forgot things because he had a good memory. he was also good with things around the house, like fixing broken doorknobs, tightening screws, and mending hinges.

he was also a decent chef in his own right. sometimes, he'd invite his friend elijah over for dinner and cook up a feast.

i asked her how she discovered he was a raven.

she said that one evening, in december, he just announced it. he told her "i'm going for a fly around. i'll be back in about 15 minutes." and off he went.
he came right back though.
