Hyperion's golden stare remained fixed on the mysterious runes as a moment of silence passed between the two strangers. Isabella seemed to consider his question. Then her blue gaze lifted to his. He met her eyes hesitantly, a slight frown on his face. He managed to distract himself, however, as her words entered the air. She had come here to bring her friend - a gecko - to the sands. Her words were sincere as she spoke of their friendship, and the male had to admit he felt a pang of jealousy. If only he had such a loyal companion. But he placed a smile on his maw and let himself be happy for Isabella. "What a lovely story, miss. I am glad you have found such trust in another creature. And I don't find that strange at all, I assure you. Wolves aren't the only creatures, after all." His smile grew a bit as an airy laugh left his lips. Then he looked away again. He pretended to examine the white bark on the trees. It was then that the female spoke again. This land was clearly unfamiliar to her, but Hyperion didn't claim to understand it either. So he told the young lady what he knew. "Yes, my lady, it is very sacred. At least it is to me. It's a place of serenity and relaxation, and never has it been disturbed by noise or violence. I suppose you could call it a sanctuary..." He blinked once and met her gaze. "Yes, the water is my favorite part. It seems to hold healing qualities. Please, give it a try." Hyperion tilted his head in a welcoming gesture, stepping aside for the young lady. She could enjoy the water anyway she liked. Whether she simply touched it or drank it, he believed it could restore her inner peace. Maybe she didn't require such healing. He didn't know her story. And she didn't know his. Those eyes... he winced and looked away, staring at the runes once more. He contemplated them as he answered her last question. Such a curious little maiden... I must admit that I don't have a clear answer to that question. This shrine is a mystery. But that, I believe, is the beauty of it all." "Talk."Think. |
