Ever since they had been old enough to be allowed to roam the castle, it seemed like she was met someone new every day. It was kinda easy though, because while everyone might not have known her personally, it was known that she was a daughter of the Aegis and Queen- and honestly, she quite liked that. There were plenty of Daddy's relatives around, but when her and her siblings were informed that Momma had family coming to visit, Lyssie was really excited! And she knew just how important it was by the way Briar spent extra time trying to groom them to their best- which she also liked.
However, when they were shepherded out to the gardens, Talyssa balked. Pale blue eyes widened as she began to take in all the wolves that had gathered there. But before being set loose upon the world, the gentle reminder to be on their best behavior for their guests may as well have been etched in stone for her. When Briar turned away to visit with those gathered, Talyssa remained seated. Taking in all the faces that were present.
The first to approach was a lady a bit smaller than Momma, but every bit as beautiful. She could see the resemblance and admired it. Congratulations were given to her mother, for what, she wasn't quite sure. But when the attention turned to her and her siblings, she tensed a little. Wide eyes, she wasn't quite sure how she felt being the center of attention. Shyness took over, but when Zee introduced herself as Grandma and wanted hugs, she eased a bit. She liked hugs. "Grandma?" Talyssa said softly to herself, only to lean into an embrace as it was offered to her. It felt kinda like Momma, but different. Different in a good way. Okay, Grandma was pretty great.
It wasn't until she heard a strange masculine tone did she recognize a new family member had approached. As he introduced himself, she met his turquoise with hers of aquamarine. "Hello, Kotori." She offered him shyly, just as a monochromatic approached, introducing herself as well. "Hello, Gossamer." Lyssie said, getting slowly more confident with each introduction. As a lull settled among those gathered, she decided she would offer her own name. However, that was quickly forgotten when Dusk broke off to take special interest in the woman that introduced herself as Gossamer. She was taken aback by the sudden outburst. But it gave her the confidence to proceed with her original intention. "My name is Talyssa." The Carpathius girl announced softly.
