While generally content with her usual day to day life, Lucia still dreamt sometimes of traveling in her free time, when she wasn't helping her mama and siblings out. Inspired by all the letters she's received of the accounts of the adventures of her two best friends, Lucia, too, had aspirations of going on an adventure of her own one of these days. There wasn't any one destination in particular she had in mind to start with, aside from that she wanted to 'branch out', so to speak, from the two places she traveled back and forth between for her mama's work. However, if she had to think about it...

Well, Lucia had an interest in visiting Silveil! Not the city proper, mind you; while lovely enough on its own, it wasn't what she was after. The forests, however...

There was something about the forests of the city of eternal night that the nin wanted to see for herself. Sure, she'd heard plenty about it secondhand, from her mama's clients, and other adventuring elnin, but now that Lucia was all grown up, she wanted to experience it firsthand. There was the glowing plants, the flora and mushrooms, for one- 'bioluminescent', she thought she remembered the word for them being, though she always struggled to pronounce it properly- Lucia wondered what kind of potions could be made from them. Of course, given the other kinds of things she'd heard about Silveil, in particular it's more unsavory side, she wondered if that was a good idea to try taking anything home with her. At the very least, it would be a sight to take in and behold, and to take a nap among the fireflies would surely bring all sorts of sweet dreams.

If nothing else, the one thing Lucia really wanted to do was stargaze. Sure, she could do that back home, too, on clear nights when she had no other obligations, but Silveil's starry skies were said to be particularly breathtaking... or so she heard, of course! As an elnin who loved the stars and stargazing, Starlake and Silveil's eldertree seemed like the perfect destination. A tree that grew under the water... jellyfish that resembled stars glowing in the lake... Lucia could only hope to one day experience these things for herself, so that she too may write about her adventures to share with her friends.

(And, if they could experience them all together, that would be even better!)
