gold cage; hostage to my feelings

[Beyza]

The explanation is taken in without fuss - Beyza knows that there are more faces living in Pangea than the small corner she has met. It does not surprise her to learn that there are other families living within these canyons and foothills. This older girl looks as though she lives adventurously, though Beyza wonders whether she has a mother to encourage her to go swim and wash off mud every now and then. Only chance stops her from asking this blunt question - she misses her chance because this other girl asks one first. Beyza tilts her head and blinks her white eyes at the fireflies that surround her and their pure white light. She only tries to do one other colour, a warm yellow like those of this stranger’s, but the fireflies around her explode in a flash and suddenly, the two girls and the rocky landscape around them are illuminated by thousands of little lights - in every colour you can imagine. Her eyes widen a little bit and a small gasp escapes her, though she’s frustrated more than she is impressed - her magic never does what she wants it to do. She doesn't know yet that it is reacting to her desire to make this stranger happy, hoping that one of these colours is her favourite. “I guess I can.” She states a little sheepishly, her glow diminishing slightly now that the world around them is - at least for now - cascaded in rainbow light. She does not mention that this is not what she wanted to do, and tries to act as though she is not unnerved by the spectacle by attempting to change the subject. “I live in Pangea, I can help you find your family… if you like.” BEYZA something borrowed into something new
