Finally looking at a comm

[westeast]

Oh dear, you're finally going to do it? That's lovely. Where is it?

Not telling me, are you? Well... That does sound a bit ominous, dear. I do hope it isn't anywhere too terrible.

Just take care not to rush, you have plenty of time to work, dearest. And I certainly don't mind waiting.

I have all the time in the world, after all!

She's not really going to send you someplace scary, is she granny?

Scary places are no place for the elderly!

[westeast]

I really don't know, dear! I'd hope she doesn't send me somewhere terrible, but I fear I don't have much of a choice in the matter.

I won't try to convince her otherwise, in the end it is her decision to make.

[deathlydaydreaming]

Why she'd want to make a sweet old granny like you uncomfortable I'll never know!

Oh but where are my manners! My name is Marin! Asagi Marin! It's a pleasure to meet you!

[westeast]

I think that's just her habit. She treats all her other little characters the same, I suppose I shouldn't expect lighter treatment.

It's a pleasure to meet you too, Marin. My name is Bao Huan. You certainly seem very energetic!

[A wild (OK not at all wild) other dragon appeared, about the age of your grandchildren! Assuming you have grandchildren, anyway. Granddrakes? She speaks in a quiet, raspy voice.]

It is not right to kidnap an elder...

[westeast]

[She has lots of grandbabies. Can barely keep track of all the grandbabies!]

Hm?

Oh, so you know! Are you one of us, my dear?

And whether it's right or not never stopped her before, I'm afraid.

[theburntone]

[She looks down, somewhat shy. But she's learned to trust kindly old people, if almost noone else.]

Ah...yes, I am. I only recently found out.

Perhaps she was not raised well?

[westeast]

That is wonderful to hear. I don't see nearly enough of us on here, and so well behaved too.

Perhaps. I would like to think it is just a phase she will eventually work through.

It's strange how you just found out about your breeding though, my child! Were you raised by humans then?

[theburntone]

[She shuffles her feet, looking embarassed, but smiles.]

Thank you, elder. I was. Fortunately my father is a former archmage and dragonlord...That is, a human whom our kind will deign to talk to instead of eat.

[westeast]

Oh, is that so? Hm, I don't believe I've heard of such a thing before... How interesting.

I would love to meet him at some time, I'm sure he is terribly interesting.

You don't have to call me 'elder' though, that makes me feel so terribly old! Bao Huan, dear one, feel free to call me that.

[theburntone]

Sorry, el...Auntie Bao Huan. I know he would be delighted too.

The dragons of Earthsea are temperamental and territorial. It is a necessary thing. Not all of us are as patient as you.

[westeast]

Earthsea... Such a strange name. It's a shame they cannot be more patient, we do have all the time in the world after all. Causing trouble is just unnecessary. If there's one thing you should always remember my dear, is that there is usually always time.

Patience, as the humans say, is a virtue.

[theburntone]

I...I will try, Auntie. Sometimes I want to know so many things and I wish our farmhouse had more books. I wish I knew everything. Like you probably do. And Papa Hawk does, except I think he knows a different everything. And momma Goha does, with her everything.

[westeast]

You will know plenty in time, my dear. To be honest, I don't think I know everything at all! Just the other day, one of my grandchildren came in with this... little black thing! He said it was a phone of all things, I certainly don't know much about that!

No one knows everything, child. As long as the world keeps growing and changing, no one will ever know everything.

[expertamateur]

Please ensure you use that time constructively. I suggest a creative hobby such as knitting.

[threetails]

What would you consider terrible? It's probably different than what I'd considerer terrible. Really the only terrible place would be somewhere boring.

But I don't have your kind of patience.

[westeast]

Oh I've taken up sewing as a hobby, but knitting would be enjoyable as well. Anything constructive really, and I do so enjoy making new clothes.

[westeast]

I'd have to agree! Though perhaps someplace nonviolent and quiet. I'm a bit old for excitement these days.

Patience is an easy thing to acquire my dear. Everyone gets it in time.

[threetails]

Nowhere's really nonviolent. Gotta eat after all.

Unlike you, I don't have all the time in the world though. Not yet at least.

[westeast]

What ever happened to going to the store for food?

You still have at the very least one hundred years! Right? A century is enough time for a great deal of people.

[expertamateur]

Fantastic. I suggest making your goal gloves. Gloves are difficult, but everyone adores them.

[samantha_grey]

Just remember never to tell them "It can't be that bad." That's like inviting them to try.

[westeast]

I am rather fond of gloves... and hats too! Little knit caps are adorable.

[westeast]

I'll be sure to remember that. I think another one of my muns muses attempted that with her.

They're in a horror game now, can you imagine?

[expertamateur]

GLORIOUS!

Due to the shape of my head, I can't wear hats, but I admire them greatly!
