For a moment it was such fun to watch the adults and her siblings tumble and rumble with each other, a little scary, but still fun!! She already knew how fierce her sisters were, she witnessed it first hand nearly everyday! Though such activities weren’t too much of a thing for her, however chasing birds? Definitely her speed.

She’d gotten distracted, per usual, chasing a little chickadee through the trees and up a hill, she didn’t think of it at the moment but luckily she left thick enough tracks to be able to follow to get back to the party later on. Illithya thought the little birdie wanted to play, it had dove down on her, tickled her nose even! But for some odd reason it just kept running away, it even came to a point where she had lost track of it in the trees.

Being anything but quick to give up a game, she pursued, jumping happily through the snow until finally she had caught up. The little birdie had perched itself on a loose branch the stuck from the snow, it was thin, and apparently couldn’t hold its weight because suddenly it went sliding down the hill.

Right then and there she’d gotten the most exciting idea of the night! She too would slide down the hill, however a tiny branch wouldn’t hold her, so instead she would peel off a thick enough piece of bark from the trees.. this was definitely Nausicaa’s specialty, but alas! She was by herself this time, no worries though, Illithya always found a way!

1..2..3.. TUG! She repeated these counts in her head, finding it impossible to do so with her voice while pulling at the strip of bark. It was truly much harder than she thought it would be, more difficult than anything she’d ever done! Though the lingering technic of how her sister would’ve done it kept her motivated! She might even make her proud! And that thought alone brought giggles bubbling from her throat. Nevertheless she kept tugging.. and tugging and tugging some more, until suddenly her nose gave a curious wiggle.

There something new in the air, someone new! Her maw was quick to release the strip of wood, leaving her little bite marks imprinted in the wood. Her mixed match gaze shifted from tree to tree, until finally her ears perked and her eyes found its source. It was a girl! A friend! Oh my she had a new friend! And she was pretty too! She reminded her of the nighttime skies, when the sun went to sleep. Maybe she would add her to her special prettiest of pretty collection too!

Her excitement showed in her bounded steps towards the girl, tail wagging, and smile wide. "HI!" She greeted, not exactly paying mind to the octave of her voice. "I’m Illithya! Whats your name?? I saw ya in the games! You played against my sister and almost won, tha’ was so cool! Do you want to play with me!? I promise it’ll be fun!" She chirped, a spew of words falling from her lips, her short legs fighting their way through the snow before making a not so perfect circle around the girl before pausing in front of her. "So will you come?? Play I mean! And what was your name again?"

Already catching the breath that was used to trek a path her and speak to the girl, she found it a bit odd she hasn’t yet heard her voice besides the earlier greeting, perhaps she was like her other sister, Eidola, in terms of quietness; but that was okay!! It would be harder to stump her octave as well and also slow down, but she’d try! She really wanted to play with her new friend after all, and how could she get to know her if she couldn’t hear her??
