It was easy to get lost in the glow of the bonfire and the soothing heat that it put off. The young Carpathius girl lay with her belly flat against the ground, but at the same time, propped up on her elbows. Her pale blue gaze honed in on the dancing light before her, yet seeing something just beyond what she could make out. In the moment, she was absorbed in her thoughts. Daydreaming, more or less as most children do. She wondered what life was going to be like as a grown-up. What did she want to do? Talyssa dearly loved her family at the hollows. But there was a part of her that longed to get out in the world and explore it. To see new places and to always be learning something new. The idea that maybe she could make a difference was alluring to her- though she didn't know how she could achieve such an abstract goal.
In fact, she was so withdrawn into herself, she didn't realize that she was no longer alone. Feeling the close proximity of another, her attention shifted to the familiar frame of one of the Hallows' knights. "Mercury!" She said softly in a tone of delight.
