She's a mess of gorgeous chaos,
The new hat flops forward to push damp hair into her eyes, the felt rubbing an echoing sound against the tines of her horns. It had seemed like a good idea at the time, the wide brim blocking out some of the sunlight that seems infinitely brighter in Torchline than the Grounds; however, when it causes her to miss half of the interesting sights, Knell has to debate the wisdom of her choice. Especially when the sights are those of exploding geysers.
She purses her lips for the tenth time, pushing the hat up just in time to notice the inconsistency in the rainbow stones beneath her feet, jolting to a stop so fast that she nearly falls backwards - then succeeds. A flick of her tail tries to save her balance, but the surprise shout tips the scales, a small splash and a grunt accompanying her gravity-assisted recline. Pushing her hat back up for the eleventh time, wide blue eyes are suddenly more captivated by the prone shape than that of the surroundings.
"Oh, hi," she says simple, head tilting to scan the girl, pointedly ignoring the ache forming on the base of her tail. The girl appears around her age, a single hand pointing straight into the sky at something Knell hadn't spotted - something she's determined to find out now. "There what are?" She follows the finger's trajectory up, one hand forcing her hat to behave while she investigates.

And you can see it in her eyes.
