[ Most people who are new to this place and attend this gathering do more or less the same thing. They eat the food on offer (hungry after being pulled out of the well in the altogether), they watch the magic displays with either awe or familiarity, they ask questions, and those who are bold opt to enter the Horizon.
This young lady, however, is doing none of that. She's staring at the ceilings, muttering to herself, and tracing the wall or the curve of an archway. Thancred wonders if she's perhaps never been in a castle quite this lavish, or in a castle at all — but there's something about the way she's focused on all of it.
Either way, he's curious. Despite the fact that she's taller than him, her face is youthful, but this doesn't particularly surprise him. Highlander women tend to spring up above his height even in their adolescent years, after all.
So he comes up behind her, not intending to be silent or to sneak up on her, though to some extent he can't help it. It's his training, to always step lightly and not be heard. ]
