Tatyana listened with rapt amazement at Yalene's tale. She was so engrossed in it that she didn't realize she was actually leaning forward a little.
As the story finished her smile waned, she had been hoping to hear a little more but figured Yalene was saving the best for another night.
"One night I shall tell you the tale of a gypsy princess and the sand dragon. Tis a popular story around our campfires. But tell me how many wonders you have seen? My caravan has traveled many places, to the east so far that men there make the stars explode and dance in the night sky with color..., I've seen water so clear in fjords that it shines like glass...Fields of wildflowers that look like tapestries... "
Tatyana paused, realizing she probably sounded like she was boasting.
"I just mean, I'm curious about other parts of the world...Gypsies are shunned no matter where we go normally, so I love hearing tales of great wonders and sights."
