Caedwyn was intrigued at the mention of unfamiliar stars. The story of her journey here sounded similar to so many others he'd heard as he travelled around the lands. He himself had somehow wandered here only to realize that this place was unfamiliar and despite all his searching, he couldn't re-trace his path back to where he'd came. Even if the girl didn't know it, Caedwyn already knew the truth: she wasn't leaving this place. He was half tempted to tell her his conclusion but he doubted she would believe it. He knew he wouldn't have believed such a thing if he'd heard it when he first got here. It would be a waste of time to converse on such things, so he decided to steer the conversation in a different direction. "Stars?" He said thoughtfully, looking up to the sky above. It was daytime but the motion was more of an act than genuine. "I've heard the stars around here can be a bit strange." He figured making some idle conversation with the girl was good for now. He needed to warm her up a bit while he figured out how to break the news to her that no amount of searching would let her find the place she was looking for. Although, maybe it wasn't totally impossible. He'd heard some wolves disappeared from the lands completely, but how that worked he wasn't entirely sure. So he torn between trying to convince her that the search was futile or standing idly by. He did consciously decide not to answer her request for directions. He didn't want her running off quite so suddenly. "An island you say? There are a few islands around. How will you know if you're at the right one?" --- Speech. |
