Even if she's never known anything else, maybe she'd like that too. The castle was cool and all, but it was busy. It was noisy. The halls echoed, and Meadow was pretty sure she'd like living outside. Her family is great and all, but... how did the rest of the world live? She'd seen it in her books, but maybe living it would be cool too. Who knows, though.

She... would also take a bite of her snacks, not feeling the need to scramble into filling silence. Hell, when did she ever. Around them, the evening coming to life. Maybe she's coming to life in a way, too, sitting out here with Wilder. She'd never been the best in their manners classes, either.

Dizzying, that's a good word. Meadow couldn't help but be overwhelmed by it all. Good overwhelmed? Was that possible? Turning back to look him in the eye, the girl takes a moment to look at him. Really look at him. "I wouldn't have asked for anything more than that." And it's true, she didn't want to bother anyone. But also, were his eyes always quite this red? Was it warm out here? Oh dear. Right, dizzying.
