Alluria heard the girl when she said she recognized her, but her words and expression almost made it sound like she was looking at a ghost. the girl rolled the name sam around in her mind, it seemed familiar but it just didn't stick ... maybe that was the name of one of the kids at the orphanage but she had spent so long trying to forget it that she'd nearly succeeded, both people looked vaguely familiar but she couldn't place either. when she looked at the girl she just kept thinking of Christmas, she wasn't quite sure why. did her name have something to do with Christmas?
Sam said he was coming down to deal with her, she smiled lightly then pushed her hood back, and turned towards the horizon. it was pretty here.
Christmas ... a name that makes me think of Christmas ... then it occurred to her and she muttered "Noel" she looked back up at the girl, she certainly did resemble the child in Alluria's memories. It wasn't necessarily the same person, but it seemed likely.
she patiently waited for Sam to come downstairs, but she kept her eyes on the girl.
