The rush of relief over her father's face on her given report was entirely lost on her. She didn't quite understand what the huge concern was over the shift of gravel, but it seemed that it was in his nature to fret over things- something she wouldn't press him on to avoid causing more worry. At her own prompt to his wellbeing, it seemed to break some of the tension in his face. His grin spread from his expression to hers as he answered. "Good. I knew you would be. I just wanted to make sure." Talyssa answered confidently- giggling at his own display of uninjured limbs.
When he gestured toward a particular spot at the water's edge, she was eager to follow through. She required very little encouragement when it came to investigating something new. Of course, she had to immediately stick her paws in the crystalline pool. The residual mist from the spray of water added a heavy weight to the air with thicker humidity- but she loved it. And the access that Artorias had brought her to was remarkably calm- based on the rather aggressive display of movement coming from the falls. Talyssa couldn't help but wade out a little deeper until the chilling river water reached midway up her legs. Leaning down to the surface, she took the opportunity to get a drink.
However, it was interrupted when her father had mused about taking her to see other waterfalls- at another time she assumed. "Yeah, I would love that!" Talyssa answered quickly in a flash of movement to face her father- water dripping from her lips as she spoke. She ran her pale pink tongue to correct that before speaking again. "I want to see everything, really. I just don't know how badly I want to see something until I actually see it." She attempted to explain with a childlike wonderment. Chances are, there were countless beautiful places in the world- but how would even begin to start? But then the answer hit her. "The other waterfalls are a good start, though." She declared, happy to have a seemingly simple solution.
