Tala’s soft smile had a pleasantly amused tone as she listened to Delphine ramble a bit. ”I can’t wait to see it - all of it. The forest especially. We had some forests but they were pretty sparse. Do you know much about plants, then? I knew what was and wasn’t edible back home, few plants as there were on the tundra, but I know nothing of what’s safe here.”
Curiosity was probably the strongest force within Tala, and she leaned forward slightly, showing she was enraptured with the hints of a story in Delphine’s words. ”What were you walled in for?” She asked.
She laughed and thought of the vast fields that her reindeer cleared effortlessly. ”Oh yes, they are insatiable. In the winter they eat pounds and pounds of reindeer moss - lichen - in the summer there isn’t as much snow so they dig through it and eat until they fall asleep, and then get up and eat some more.” She spoke fondly. She thought she may miss the reindeer the most, as much as she loved her clan, the reindeer had a special place in her heart.
”Bring back the dead?” Tala asked, blinking in surprise. They had very little magic where she came from, certainly none strong enough to revive anybody. ”A little bit, in the city there was a caster’s guild, but I only went to the city one time; right before I portalled here. I heard many tales of their magic, but I’m not sure what among them was true. You know how tales can be.” As much as she loved to pester every single person they met on their travels for information, she knew better than to believe it all.
