She was still not entirely sold on the explanation of the beaver's dam. Or at least, not until her mother made the comparison to the castle. It was then she started to look at it as a structure, rather than a haphazard pile. The castle could stand on its own, and it was hollow. The construction of this shelter was just quite a bit more primitive- and it was something she could certainly appreciate. Her pale blue gaze returned to the beaver as placed his material in a place that it felt needed reinforcement. "Yeah, he certainly knows what he's doing." Talyssa observed with curiosity, though it didn't hold her attention for much longer. She was much more interested in learning about the big picture.
The idea that everything was gradually changing was fascinating to her. She tried her best to imagine what a pond would look like in the middle of the aspen trees. Beautiful trees. She wondered if they would be able to survive the expanse of water. Perhaps some of the closest ones would drown- but she doubted that one little pond would be enough to make a drastic change to the entire forest. Yet, as her mother went on about the discovery of Auster, she supposed that anything could be possible outside the scope of what was known and what was hidden beyond perception. The idea that when she was a grown-up and had her own family that this place could potentially be entirely different, really put that into perspective for her. "I guess if everything is slowly changing it's easy to miss. I'll try to make sure I pay close attention." Talyssa mused- mostly because she didn't want to miss anything from lack of attention to detail.
With another sweeping glance of the forest around her, another question came to her lips. "What else is there to know, Momma?" She asked out of academic enthusiasm. No matter how much time her mother spent explaining things to her, in never seemed enough.
