There are many ways she could've spun her backstory as she usually tends to do. Some days she was molded from stardust and came to be by Caligo's magic. Others she came from a distant land where she lived among fairies and changed to a new form when she came upon Novus. If she's feeling really adventurous, she'll throw out a story that she used to be a deer and was reborn as a shed-star afterwards.
Not everyone believes her and while she enjoys creating the elaborate stories, it didn't seem appropriate here. She's among a highly respected individual in Denocte and she wants to make a good impression. Although it seems the woman might be too dignified to join her in dance. Of course, it might've helped if they had the musicians from the markets here to create lively music. Vae is too used to creating her own music in her head to dance to. Antiope remains stagnant and this makes the Shed-Star frown.
But the Regent's story brings about so many more questions. She says she came from a boat that dropped her off at the docks. What kind of boat? Where did it come from? Why did she decide not to stay out at sea? She can't imagine always living out on the water, but she'd be willing to try it for a few days. The ocean seems so fascinating, especially now that she's crossed the strange bridge all the way here to the island.
"A child of the sea? Or somewhere else?" she asks the woman, finally ceasing her dancing. Everything in her is wanting to keep going, but it seems silly now if she won't have a dance partner.
"I always wondered what realms are out there besides Novus. Whether they're on land, or in the sky, or the water," she goes on like a child with their head in the clouds. "One could say this island is a new realm in its own way. It's my first time here." Vae looks back at Antiope and wonders what brings the Regent so far from their Court. Is she secretly an adventurer too?
