She supposed there was a difference between solitude and loneliness, though she had crossed that line long ago. The young girl accepted her loneliness for as long as she could, as she was too focused on her travels, but it grew tiring. Someone her age isn't meant to be by themselves. She's supposed to be out and about, socializing, being a kid. Being a part of the Ascendants now, though, gave her that.
"Oh, thank you. Yours is... Interesting," she spoke. Truthfully, Beverly meant it more as a compliment than anything, but it probably wouldn't be perceived that way.

The group here is called the Ascendants.
"The stars were my map to this place, actually. Like, for a little while, I stayed with a group of loners and they had told me about this place. Said it was north of where we were.

The girl realized now that she was rambling, and cut herself off.
