Torchline was so much more exciting than Halo had ever been. There was some kind of monster-thing appearing in the ocean and it didn't seem like it was going to eat her, which made Jiao far happier than anything in the snowy mountains had.
Settling to sit on the rocks, content to watch the L'ma by herself, Jiao occasionally glanced off to the various people gathered to see it. Always the same ones that came, she thought, when something happened...maybe those that had been trapped in the barrier just wanted to be involved in things now that they could be. As for herself, she had always had a curious nature; the thrashing of the waves combined with the low call had transfixed her for the time being.
