priscilla "sil" rosario — female — the typhoon — tags

as she was collected with her siblings, brought underneath her da's wings, she finds herself closing her eyes. she is not just a little child, she is an adventurer, currently stowed away underneath the disguise of a box. she is going to a new land, one she could see if she peered outside far enough, and hear if she listened closely. various faces and voices in the distance, so close, but never close enough. and now she has escaped her home with her siblings and they get to explore this new land, together. was she excited? oh, absolutely. an explored territory is being made available to her - why wouldn't she be excited? even ari seems quite enthusiastic about this. the crow had made it clear to her he was quite grumpy about staying inside for so long.

when she opens her eyes though, da stopping and speaking out, she finds the excitement is replaced with anxiety. she tenses up, her light blue eyes blinking at all of the world around her. for a few moments, she stays completely frozen, clutching her blanket against her cold body. this is all unknown territory to her, and it is scary. she needs to stay put, and observe. priscilla would do just that, watching as her siblings made their own journeys into this world while she remained pressed against her da. she was not ready. she wanted to go back home.

it was not until she felt her companion peck gently at her back demanding impatiently, "what are you waiting for?" that she broke from her position, eyes darting behind her to the avian. she found out at a young age that none of her family seemed to be able to see, hear, feel, or even smell ari, which meant she had to be careful when speaking to him in public. others may get confused and think she's having some weird conversation with herself. she did not want to look like a crazy witch from those stories. "i'm nervous," she admits in a whisper towards him, glancing around her. everything is new. she does not know what to expect.

she shifts her feathery wings, turning her head towards her da. "introduce yourself at least." the golden crow states, a bit of annoyance laced in his tone. the ragdoll shuffles her paws, her tail twitching once. she is about to speak up, joining in her siblings' introductions, when she sees eli fall over. "oh no," she frets out loud, frowning. was the sand going to hurt them? she remembers reading stories with something called quicksand. did the beach have that? her fur lifts slightly at that thought. "is the beach gonna swallow us whole like quicksand?" she quickly asks to her da, clearly nervous. ari pecked at her back again, a bit harder this time. "no, fool. just introduce yourself." the female sniffles slightly, pulling her blanket tighter around her body.

priscilla does not say anything else for a few moments, deciding to watch her surroundings a little bit more. it appears that ari was right, though. nothing seemed to be being eaten by quicksand currently. "salvete. i'm priscilla rosario, or, um, you can call me sil." her voice is soft, though she tries to raise it a little for others to hear. she finds herself feeling a little better after stating the words and plans to say "nice to meet you", but is cut off as she spots kai now joining eli. oh no! the water is gonna drown them! she moves herself closer to her da in a panicked fashion, wishing to get away from the water and desiring someone to grab her siblings away from it.
