“Hmm…” She looks at the fire a moment as if it was more interesting then the question. “That I tried to kill myself. They would be disappointed. Even when I tried to reason that I was killing Garlean soldiers in the process. I know they would be disappointed in my choice. I am still disappointed in my choice.”

“I try to hide many things from my parents. I guess the biggest thing I don’t want them to know is that… I don’t care if the person I fall for is a man or a woman. I’m most concerned with who they are as a person. Not wealth or sex or anything of that sort. My parents still try to pair me with eligible ladies of their choice. I merely do what I can to escape from those pairings. I just keep waiting for the person I am going to love heart and soul. They only see it as I should be keeping the bloodline strong with a match of their choosing.”

“I…” Her ears droop against her head at the thought of her father. She shakes her head vigorously before crossing her arms. Her expression having gone from melancholy to angry. “I don’t worry about what my pops thinks anymore. I quit worrying the day I ran away. So even if he found out it won’t matter. So why bother.”
