Lillibet
The stars move outward, noiselessly coaxed by the girl's invisible hand. They move beyond Lillibet gracefully, captivating her amber gaze even after they have settled into position. A giant halo rings the two girls in the darkness, one of them very much in control and the other very much in awe. Lillibet forgets she has even asked a question, so distracted is she by the stranger's affinity, that it takes a few slow blinks and a massive effort for Lillibet to turn her gaze back to the opal girl at the sound of her voice.
Liesma. She is unfamiliar with the name, though that comes as no surprise to the girl who has spent far too little time looking beyond her own little world. There is not much she is familiar with beyond Sylva and Loess, beyond her parents and Link.
"Lillibet," she responds gently as her amber eyes move back to the steady glow of their star shield, a brief moment taken to enjoy the alliteration of Liesma and Lillibet. "How do you tame them, Liesma?" she asks, with envy blatant in her quiet voice.
She has heard stories of the Mountain. Of the things that can be granted there.
But she has also heard of the Dark God, and though she does not usually balk at danger, there is something in the weight of Carnage's name that draws her to reconsider whether or not she sould venture to the peak and ask the omnipotent for more than they had been willing to bless her with at birth. Would she be too greedy to ask, and would the consequence be a stripping of her ethereal glow?
