From This Moment, Forever I Can Hope.

It seemed the more they talked, the easier their exchange became. "Yes, it is my family name." She answered softly, offering up a warm grin in response. As the other girl drew the conclusion that a lot more pride resonated within herself than perhaps a common pack member, Taly gave a slow nod in acknowledgement. "How insightful of you- yes you're right, I'm not just a mere follower. It's who I am." She declared. Even if something were to happen where she was separated from her family ... she couldn't imagine herself adopting any other ideals. She was a Carpathius, inherently benevolent with a desire to make a difference.

When she offered taking the castaway back to have her needs better met, it seemed the most interesting thing to her was the status of her parents. Then, in sequence, her own status. Taly couldn't help the airy chuckle that escaped through her nose. "Maybe in a literal sense, my father being the Aegis, and my mother the Queen- but I'm not called as such. Nor do I lounge around being waited on hand and foot- or whatever princesses do. I like to pursue knowledge and politics myself, one day I plan on being an Envoy- a diplomat of sorts. So it's a good habit to get to know strangers. Never can be too sure of when a name drop might come in handy." While the girl might be down on her luck at the moment, life had a very unique way of carving paths. There is no telling where her journey would take her.

Just as she had second-guessed, Absinth made it clear that she didn't feel like she would be a good candidate for recovering in the Hallows. "If you say so, Absinth, but again, consider it an open invitation. That being said, at least allow me to find you something to eat." Talyssa finished, straightening her posture as she took a panning glance around the island. The gulls she had spotted earlier seemed to be active in another part of the small island, so without hesitance, Talyssa trotted off towards the undergrowth to cross to the otherside. She had managed to find a gull that had been tending a nest. Occupied with tending eggs, the hen hadn't noticed a predator lurking nearby. It had been a swift death, one that Talyssa felt good about. Putting the bird back in its tightly woven ground nest, she gently folded the twigs in half to make carrying everything back- eggs and all.

She returned to Absinth with her bundle clutched tightly in her grasp, gently setting it down near the monochromatic fae once in reach. "It won't be the finest meal you've ever had, but it might get you some of your energy back." She finished lightly, hoping that her offering would be received with at least luke warm acceptance.
