Oh. Okay! Fine with me. Even if you aren't interested, I'd be willing to become allies with you. We could talk about what our timelines are like! I'd be down to hear more about your kingdom.

You're in a kingdom, right?

[pactmarshal]

I am not, no. Kingdoms and queendoms are a very human concept and not how we sylvari govern ourselves. We are a young people, so our systems and the way we govern ourselves might come across as immature or naïve to the older races.

Are kingdoms the norm for flowers like you where you're from?

[your_best_friend]

Most physical plantlife can't even move like I can. There was once a kingdom of monsters where I was at, but everyone moved out of the mountain to live with the humans once the barrier keeping them in was broken. In fact, I think I'm the first and only one of my kind.

[ Ah. ]

I can sympathize. I am also the first of my people, and I have been alone since awakening here. It is not easy, and not a plight others seem to understand very well.

Were you left to fend for yourself when the others left? Do you consider yourself a monster, then?

I chose to stay behind when everyone left for

for complicated reasons.

[No need to get into any of THAT stuff just yet.]

And then I was kidnapped for four weeks and had a little change in perspective. I realized I didn't need to self-isolate myself anymore. And no, I don't consider myself a monster. I'm physical, not magical, now. Asriel is never coming back.
