Rio was so full of curiosity, as much as she was full of energy. She wanted to discover what there was to be discovered all at once, to take in the beauty of the world as soon as possible. Strangely, what Mati told her then made her pause inwardly to think, to ponder the concept of time. Yes, maybe she did have time; quite a bit. There would be plenty of opportunity to explore and see — she was still a little girl, and impatience was so uncomfortable anyway. "The world... it's so big," she noted almost to herself. Its vastness was an overwhelming concept. Oh, but she would see it all before the end of her life!
Perhaps Mati had been distracted by Rio's childish questioning, and it could be blamed on her mind, which was a young bird, flitting to and fro as new things crossed the line of sight in her thoughts. Mati's explanation caused the sable girl to giggle ; it was a very good example. "You're silly!" she peeped as her laughter died down. "I've never walked on two feets. Do... do you think I could try soon?" she asked with wide eyes. Why was it that she could so easily ask questions of her new-found sister, with little reservations? It felt very freeing.
