converse: would you ever have a deep conversation with a stranger and open up to them?

She laughs merrily for a moment before smiling. “Well then. I guess this has already answered itself for me. Well not for the one asking the question. Yes I would depending on how I felt about that person upon meeting. It has proven… Beneficial if I find the person to be comfortable enough to speak to. Nate was just a stranger once. A guest who had stopped by the Order’s house. I don’t open up to everyone. Some just… Seem to have that air about them that I find I can trust them even with the darkest parts of me. Nate was one of those. An it has led to a very wonderful friendship between us.”

“Truthfully? Probably not. A deep conversation yes. An most of my feelings I tend to be open an honest about. However… There are parts of who I am that I keep secret from even those I am close to. I am supposed to be the knight. The protector. A man hiding behind a mask and keeping people at a certain distance.” A wry laugh escapes him before he shrugs casually. “However with the right person? Maybe. Though I’m not sure if I would recognize the right person. So many years trying to be an do what my family thinks I must do. My attempts to be who I want to be instead of who they want. Maybe I am best being married to my life as a knight.”

“Not right away no. Maybe not at all.” She  crosses her arms, tail swishing behind her casually. “I’m not ready to discuss certain parts of my life. I’d rather forget they ever happened. Besides! Who wants to know about the past ya? The past is the past. Forget about it.”
