As Talyssa's gaze scanned the ivory artifact, she hadn't once thought of reaching out to touch it. Maybe subconsciously she didn't want to disturb the remnants of the resting beast. However, as she watched Mercury reach out to touch it, she suddenly couldn't resist the urge either. The girl reached out a paw to feel for herself. It was a strange sensation. Hard as a rock, but weathered by time. Though as Mercury went on to describe an elephant, she did her absolute best to imagine it. Withdrawing her paw from the bone as if it would help her to concentrate. But what her mind made up, wasn't exactly the most attractive creature. "Elephants sound kind of ugly." She responded jokingly.
Glancing around the valley, something else caught her attention. "Oh! Look at that one!" She said enthusiastically. She didn't wait for recognition. Talyssa drifted off towards the profile of an impressive-looking skull.
