Denise chuckled to herself at the rumbling grumble from her sister about being called a horse for the millionth time. She stretched out a hand and gently patted the side of the golem. Most of its emotions were reduced to an ember, but even an ember can flare to a fire every now and then. "Calm down now. She's a special being. We have to keep her safe and alive, for our benefit." Denise spoke quietly and softly, trying to make sure that Calieo could not hear her. It felt like she spoke to herself just as much as to her sister. If their plans failed then they were most likely dead. And it was this early into a long and arduous trip. She had to keep her hope and dreams up. Everyone is replaceable after all.

She was drawn out of her thoughts when Calieo spoke up. "Hm..?" Denise looked up and noticed some of the people they had travelled with. The weird yet interesting one was missing, such a shame. But there was nothing to be done about it. One less person to get in their way should things turn sour.

A deep sigh escaped from her lips as she walked up to join the rest of the crew before passing them and walked next to Calieo. She really was demanding wasn't she? But in a weird way Denise liked her. There was like, a calling after she touched her soul. It was hard to explain why she felt like she did. But she was guessing because Calieo was a special entity as well.

She was listening in on the conversations that was being had around her. It was interesting indeed. The logic of Calieo was....too extreme. When she heard ashes and dirt her heart froze for a second until she explained her reasoning. The description was spot on for her father. Or anyone in his service for that matter. He lived in a world of ashes and dirt. The fact that she had inherited his ashen skin didn't make things better.

"There are other ways to get around crossing a river." She spoke up quietly. "There are always walking back to the source and around it. Wait, or create a drought." She chuckled. "Or my golem can just toss us over before joining us on the other side."
