'cause I've been a devil, I've been a saint
Alys took the charcoal and paper gingerly, tilting her head to one side in thought before beginning to sketch long, lazy strokes across the page. "That would be nice," she said, even if she hadn't a clue where she would put a lantern. After all, she still lived in the Academy dormitories for now, and light was not exactly in short supply. But perhaps she could use this as an incentive to find her own home. She'd been in Halo long enough to want to put down more permanent roots, and she'd been saving for a house of her own. Perhaps somewhere in the Citadel, where she could open a shop...
Goals and achievements were all well and good for someone like Deimos, who held responsibility for an entire region on his shoulders, but for a humble seer like Alys? She was certain that her hopes and dreams would be entirely mundane to someone like him. Still, it was easier to talk while her mind was half-occupied by her drawing, and as a pretty lantern began to take shape beneath her hands, she said, "I've been thinking about buying a house." A few strokes here, and then some shading... "Maybe opening a shop."
