<3 This should be interesting. Talitha can't read. XD
She was quiet while she watched, studying the small orange male. There was something familiar, too familiar, about him. About his markings, his color. She couldn't place it for a moment, but the memories came to her. Orange, white, German words she couldn't begin to understand. Cotl Ulrich. Somehow this boy looked just like Cotl Ulrich. Her fingers fell to her hip, covering the Chaos Star there as her thoughts swirled with thoughts of the previous fall.
He seemed surprised as she spoke, turning to face her. Her crimson eyes fell to his hands as she watched him reach for something. It looked like a book, like her journal that had been left in her cache while she was gone. The boy wrote something, and turned the book so she could see. Just a bunch of jumbled letters, some she had seen before but none that she could read. Her face twitched in vague distress, eyes passing over the man again. He wrote his words down, but he didn't speak them. She realized why on her second pass over his features; his neck appeared heavily scarred, hidden by the marking she had seen on Cotl.
True to her usual days, she pretended as if she had seen what was on the pages, as if she had understood. Her fingers curled, glancing to the albino reindeer. "I remember that. I helped a little boy catch it in the autumn," she offered. A little boy who was similar to Izaak, but who didn't have scent on the land anymore. In the back of her mind, she wondered where he was.
