Surprise didn’t leave the yearling as the digits on her fingers pressed into the key. How did I know that? She traversed the thoughts in her mind but it was of no use. A memory of Syliat had manifested the cognitive ability in her head,, but the demon had never shown Palaydrian a map before, it just didn’t add up. Was her great grandmother proposing that her own memories were a part of the virus she had shared within the family? Impossible.. the idea sounded like magic or witchcraft, a subject the Grimm tales often highlighted. And yet, something about those tales had made chills run down her spine, as a pup the girl believed some of them to be true. Was it not magic that her own species could walk on two legs instead of four? Maybe Syliat had been on to something...maybe her memories could be accessed if she just opened her mind.

Zeitgeist brought the angel out of her daze as he explained the meaning of letters and words. She hungrily devoured this new bit of information and scanned the rest of the map, focusing on the masses of black letters. There were so many, where would she even start? The thought, the new knowledge, it made her feel weak, but perhaps it was too much sun and an empty stomach. The fae gently shook her head in attempt to knock off the strange feeling while Z continued to acknowledge her guess.

I was right! The strange nausea was returning. Something about this made her feel weird, or as if she was in someone else’s body, but she tried to shake it off again as she nodded in understanding to the dappled dog. Her eyes couldn’t help but widen when the Italian pointed out one of the unique shapes, his origin, and trailed a path across the map to another odd shape. She supposed that was her land and smiled with odd unwarranted pride. Months at sea, the girl couldn’t imagine. Her feet were meant to stay planted on solid ground, though she did wish to learn what it felt like to float on the large body of water. Months without land....how did you manage? She asked, the nerves in her voice clearly apparent. How could one hunt on a boat? Did they fish? The woman had so many questions for the man, but she wasn’t sure which one to ask first.

She decided she’d go back to the map, as it seemed it was calling to her. These letters, and their sounds...you could teach me them? Or are there far too many for one day’s light? Her stomach began grumbling after her question. Perhaps that was the reason for the strange headiness she had felt earlier. The girl grinned and gave a soft chuckle, learning built up her appetite.
