Caois glanced at the palmie, he was glad to see at least some interest. Vikso seemed content in acting like she didn't care. Maybe she didn't, and was just entertaining Liv's curiosity. He wasn't sure.
"Then I tried to find you, Vi," he told her earnestly. "I went to our old home and there was Sois tending the garden. I asked him where you were, and he said he didn't know. You'd left three months ago. I was devastated, because I had no way of knowing where you went. I asked around the local villages to see if they knew anything. Some said you went to a forest, others the desert. Some even believed you'd go to Lambastia! But I knew better than that, so the forest was my best bet." He paused here to take a breath as she watched Vi intently. She was un-moving in her expression.
"So I began my search, although it took me a year to even hear a whisper of you. But when I heard about an elusive taosig living in the dense Tengel Rainforest, I knew it had to be you. You're the only one who would be crazy enough to live out here alone." At this Vi raised an eyebrow, but Caois only chuckled. "It's a compliment, another thing I love about you."
Visk scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Anything else?" She inquired.
