Soooo... I have a few questions! Sort of like "polls". You know, those where you find out what's popular? I heard about it during the mall opening. Anyway...!

[She's smiling very happily as she starts making the questions.]

First, what's your favorite District so far? Mine's definitely Solarpeak for the beach and just the general, joyous atmosphere! It's really fun. Though I do like Dayrise, too. It's great for relaxing baths.

Second, what's your favorite way of showing affection? Or, you know, meeting the "touch" requirement? I will always answer HUGS! Because hugs are the best. I will hug anyone who needs it! Just let me know.

[Is this an offer she will regret? No. She won't go regretting something like hugs. Pfft!]

My final question is a bit more personal, but what are dragons to you?

Oh... do you not let people in?

[nilhilistic]

I tend not to.

My upbringing taught me to keep a distance from everyone. Otherwise my siblings would destroy me.

[turneditin]

Siblings would destroy you? You don't mean Nel, do you?

[nilhilistic]

Not Nel.

But I had plenty of others who plotted our demise. Our father encouraged us to turn on each other.

[turneditin]

That's cruel! A father should never do that!

[nilhilistic]

I don't think he cared all that much about being a father.

He wanted willing soldiers. Children were the best for that.

[turneditin]

... I'm sorry. No one should grow up like that.

[nilhilistic]

No. But it was how we grew up.

As such, siblings is a loaded term for us. Nel and I had no idea which one would come to end our lives.
