Kyarst would seem to laugh politely at her joke, his posture loosening as well. They both seemed more comfortable now that pleasantries had been exchanged. Adelaide sighed absently and had begun to examine another wall painting when a change in the boy's expression gave her pause. His bright green eyes tightened with suspicion, but as to what had brought on such a change the woman did not know. He seemed to have a question hanging on his lips, but instead he spoke of his bravery once more. The young man had been here before. At last his dubious glance released Adelaide, letting up for a moment as he trailed over to the stone wall of the cave. He addressed one of the drawings - the flower Adelaide had noticed earlier - with feigned interest. His inquiry was the same as the one that had been cycling through her mind. Who was responsible for these strange works of art? The snowy maiden stepped a bit closer, staring at the strokes intently. "I'm not sure," she whispered, the tension of the previous moment still not forgotten. Why had he looked at her that way? Was it something she said? The woman decided to let it go as she smiled once more at the ebony child. "Surely no creatures like us could think up such a creation. Do you have any thoughts as to what it might have been? Or who it might have been?" Walk. "Talk." Think. |
