Elizabeth
Take a step back, evaluate what is important, and enjoy life.
She wouldn't say the feeling was uncomfortable, but it was certainly strange. It felt almost like her magic, buzzing and electric around her. It hummed and distorted the forest without seeming to do any harm. Elizabeth froze, watching, listening, and feeling how everything crackled and echoed in an intimate harmony of sounds and vibrations.
His answer surprised her in what she assumed was honesty. It left her with a lot to think about, curious as to what there might be to understand about the strange being. Although wasn't that what she'd been trying to do? To understand him? To understand the Family? The message in the snow etched into her brain, and even though she wouldn't be forgetting it anytime soon, she wrote it out on the paper that was oddly warm against her hands.
Elizabeth was stowing it in her bag when she heard a familiar voice. She glanced up to see him, a distracted smile on her lips. "Oh. Hey Sah." At his question, she looked down into the melted snow, her eyes narrowed like she was trying to find a missing piece of the puzzle when she was actually missing all of the puzzle. "Yeah... Vox said he wanted to be understood."
Shrugging her shoulders, she set the information aside to mull over another time - most likely as she lay in bed trying to sleep. Her smile strengthened, warmth returning to it. "Were you heading back to the Citadel? Want some company?" She wasn't eager to linger in the forest any longer, having finished her task and finding the cold a little more biting.
