"The stars listen, so don't say anything you'd regret."
She followed in step, her steps jovial for once in a long time. She looked around, familiarizing herself with the area. As she did so, she listened to Bai Shi, to everything around them, but mainly Bai Shi. Her eyes widened, hearing about the Inn. She let out a gleeful, but quiet gasp, hearing about the records and books. How long had it been, since her mother showed her the first book she ever read? Had to have been when she was only a hunting, her family's term for a pup from 8 months to 1 year.
"I haven't read a book in a long time - Only ever read one!" She exclaimed to herself out of shock - she had to have read a bit more, right? Random books found in rotting houses scattered along her wanderings. Some complex, in different languages with translations beside them, others more simple, with pictures taking up the whole page, and only a sentence or two to describe what was going on. She tried listing off the ones she knew she saw, but just couldn't.
"I'd love to read more - and learn of this group's history, too!" Her voice, now a bit less jovial as she had realized she was a bit too loud. To Bai, maybe she wasn't, but that constant bicker in her mind was what softened her voice. As she caught up with them, having slowed down a bit to think and wonder, her smile grew wider.
