The Sunspire the next generation

The Teekon had bloomed, intensely and rapidly, over her many moons here. She could think of probably two or three packs she had run into during her earliest stays here. Many had appeared only to fizzle out while a few lasted, or moved onto new endeavors. Looking back, she had quietly observed much of it from her roost on the mountain. She wondered if she would see the end of the halcyon days, too, or if this nature would dispose of her before that time came.

She was far more interested in his answer as he revealed himself to be rather well-traveled. "I see," and she offered a fleeting smirk as he elaborated about eye-candy -- which could mean a great many things, of course. "Have you found much to quench your thirst?" she tilted her head. On either front or both, at here or there, she didn't care how he chose to answer because she was curious enough to humor any of it -- especially if she could glean something from it too. She imagined that traveling did yield him much in the way of information and adequate sightseeing, but she had come here for knowledge too, stayed for such, and here she was today. "Seeking knowledge brought me here as well," she added, so it was not all questions.
