After playing in the surf for a while, she eventually got her fill and found a spot just at the edge of the water's reach to watch the beach. She settled on her haunches, with her pale blue gaze tracing the coastline. Yet, what she failed to see- or who, rather- was the massive frame of a man she had never seen before. However, when he spoke, he immediately had her attention. He was so interesting to look at. The pattern of his coat, she had never seen before. And while her own mother did have antlers ... his horns were nothing like them. He was very unique, to say the least.
After a moment of gawking, his words registered, and she was immediately captivated. "Really? It glows?" She asked, glancing back to the rolling tide in an effort to try to imagine what it looked like in the dark. It left her wondering why no one had ever mentioned it before. "I had no idea." The girl added. Of course, her and her siblings were meant to be back to the castle before dark- maybe that was why the adults had kept it a secret. She would have to pressure them on it when she thought about it. Surely it would be okay to stay up late just once to come and see the beach.
Abandoning that train of thought for a later time, she returned her attention to the black and orange spotted man that lingered a little ways away. It was then that she got a really good look at him for the first time, and realized that there was a good chance he was every bit as tall as her father. The warm glow of a friendly, childlike grin spread across her features just as she prepared to speak again. "You have a neat way of saying things." Talyssa observed, commenting on his accent. Carpathian was a big part of her family customs, but the way the orange and black wolf spoke was different. Or at least, entirely new to her. "What is your name? I'm Talyssa!" She asked, prompting him for an introduction with her own in exchange.
