[ She pauses then too, turning just slightly so she can also watch the snow. She has always loved watching snow fall, and although the person standing just a few paces away from her is more or less a stranger to her, she finds herself glad that they are sharing this moment together, whatever it is. Could she call him a friend? Perhaps. He certainly seems to see her as one.
In that moment, regardless of how little she knows about him, she decides that she can call him a friend. After all, it takes very little for two people to become friends with one another.
Deciding to throw caution to the winds, as she does so often in her daily life, she reaches for his hand... not the flesh one, but the crystal one that has caused her to recoil before. He moves it before she can take hold of it, so she reaches for his other hand instead, giving it a squeeze. ]
I know that I don't know your people, and I barely know you, but- Hearing you talk about them... It makes me want to meet them and get to know them.
[ What's more, she wants to help them with whatever their struggle is so that they might be able to know real joy and peace as well. ]
You're going to laugh at me, but I wish- [ She glances down, suddenly feeling like a little shy because of what she's about to say. But after a moment, she continues. ] I wish that I could be there when you do.
[ Then she looks up quickly, because she knows how that sounds: arrogant, prideful... It isn't what she means. ]
Not because I want them to know that I did anything, because really, I didn't. I just think that everyone should have the chance to know what joy is.
[ And I'd like to help give it to them.
She leaves that unsaid, because how can she? She doesn't even know where Exarch is from, or how she would actually go about finding him. All she knows is that she wants to do something to help him and the people he leads.
Her tail lowers, as do her ears, lying flat against her head as she thinks of all the people that she would help if only she could. She and her sister can't be everywhere, of course, but she makes a special mental note to herself to remember Exarch and his people, so that when the time comes and they have the opportunity, they might do something to assist with whatever their needs are. ]
