Merceigh blinked and watched the view slowly show itself as she got up and walked over, looking out at it, mesmerized by the sight. It was truly something which words couldn't describe for the young woman and she smiled softly to herself. Back there, everyone would be safe.... they would have to be. She wondered if everyone was watching the sky, she shook her head slightly, the smile never leaving her lips as she bit her lip, it was just fantastic. She looked to Mark as he spoke and she nodded a little, "I never really had time to even look at the stars back there, something was always happening." She laughed quietly.

"It's weird, my men always told me I needed a holiday, I guess this is what I get for putting it off so long." She smiled a bit and kept her eyes on the outside. It was just gorgeous. The view, everything. She had never been like this. So at ease, so tranquil without having to think about what might around the corner, almost as if she could unwhind right that mind. She was herself, she was Merceigh and up here, no one had to answer to her, give reports and she didn't need to justify everything she did and no attention would be brought to her if she acted like a young woman who wanted to simply talk to a friend or laugh and joke around. Back home, doing something like that could well have ended up in raised eyebrows.

"Y'know... I could get used to all of this." She looked to Mark, tearing her gaze away from the view. "Thanks."
