The native listened to Charlotte speak, smirking initially as her ideas were called ridiculous but adopting a more intense and serious expression as eventually Charlotte started discussing the seriousness of the matter.  The room sounded interesting for sure like most of the tower, but couldn't one simply look at the sky to admire them?

[color=orangered]"Perhaps the Great Mothers have one or maybe someone has painted one, but if I am understanding our purpose is accomplished differently.  Since our terrain shifts, it is far more useful to speak to the friends for their guidance.  Besides, they can warn of other dangers such as storms even by watching them.  You don't have to hear them speak to be able to tell what they are saying most of the time."[/color]  It probably wasn't a good idea to drift back to that subject though.

Maybe I could show them about the friends even?"[/color]  Caitriona already knew the other woman would reject that offer, or warn her against it.  But despite that understanding, the smile of idealism crossed the orange haired girl's face.  [color=orangered]"Although, such grand structures aren't necessary to understand the world.  Many peoples seem to seek raising them above the world ... but they all collapse in time.  Not even the continents last forever."[/color]
