She sat in the shallow muddy water, her tail splashing happily, sending droplets every which way they decided to go. She was not a debater, nor did her age lend her any great intellect. However, she was a true believer and her youthful naivety gave her a shining conviction that would be a challenge to tarnish. Light glanced off the droplets of water on her mildly scarred face, making the mask glitter more than usual. Her expression was still all smiles, eyes shining with interest at what he had to say.But, I think even Imprinting might be explained by science! I don’t know how, but it could. She was not entirely sure what ‘science’ was. For her it could have easily just been another word for ‘magic’. Imprinting she knew. Far too often she had a conversation with her mother about who exactly Los was, and why her sister looked so different from her. What is science and magic are all entirely the same thing? Just under different words? Her paw lifted and splashed into the water in front of her for no real reason at all save that she liked to splash.

Tychon’s question did not give her the slightest pause, she knew her answer almost before he could ask the question. Things happen that cannot be seen! It can be explained, but it can be explained just as easily by magic! Why does the light dance on the top of the water? She leapt to her feet and raced around the shallows, adding her own twists to the fractal light on the ripples. Because it wants to and it made it possible to do so! a toothy grin beamed up at him. Anything is possible if you believe it to be and have the power behind it! Mamma says even just a rock can be a mountain if it meets the right dreamer. And Masque had scaled many a mountain and travelled many a trails, never leaving the forests of Taviora. ...okay sometimes leaving the forests. Birds had taken her awing and sored over the mountains of Spirane with her aloft. The pup had been to the ends of the world while she stared into the star splattered skies. It was her thoughts and her dreams that took her to galaxies that shifted and pulled at the universe, and it was the energy and power of magic that allowed her to be free of her earthly bounds.
