She smiled a little and nodded when he mentioned how she must be feeling better - though she couldn't really say that she had done it on a whim. It hadn't exactly been a fun swim, but it felt necessary to start strengthening those muscles again after a few weeks of not putting much pressure on it at all. It had been an easier workout than venturing out across Boreas and trying to "walk it off" so to speak. She didn't know if all that swimming was actually helping anything, but it at least made her feel like she was doing something to actively help herself get better. She wasn't the best at sitting around and doing nothing and the last few weeks had really emphasized that in her mind. When Milo gave her a very enthusiastic and pointed reason to why he was out here, her eyes widened with surprise while she listened to his obviously thrilled reaction to the ruins behind him. An amused grin pulled at her lips while she watched him turn and look at the crumbling structure with nothing short of amazement. She couldn't really understand what he saw in the broken building, but his enthusiasm was contagious and quite honestly one of the most adorable things she had ever witnessed. She couldn't remember a time when she had ever experienced such an emotion since she was a little pup exploring the world for the first time and she felt and odd bit of jealously over it. It made her wonder how someone discovered something they were so passionate about. She'd been working on her hunting skills heavily over the last year or so just to make herself useful and to feel some sort of accomplishment, but she couldn't say that she had ever been as excited about that as he seemed to be over this ruin. He turned back toward her after a stretch of silence, clearly a bit embrassed by how he had gotten lost in all of it. It made her a little sad to see him try to cover up his excitement in the end, but she didn't really address it besides by giving him an encouraging smile - at least for now. He gave her a bit of very sound logic about not thinking it wise to explore a crumbling building in the darkness of night and she nodded in agreement. "Yeeeeah... I think you might be right about that," she replied with a glance toward the building itself. What she wouldn't give to see how excited it would make him to see all of this in broad daylight... With that small desire planted in her mind she looked back to him with a determined smile. "Well then we'll just have to come back in the morning!" she declared. There was no asking about whether he wanted her to join his exploration or any hesitation about putting herself into his plans - she just did it unapologetically. With an unfazed grin Nausicaa gave a little nod back toward the shore. "Come on, I think I saw a place we can stay the night over that way. I can build a fire too if you want! My uncle showed me how!" |
