She nods. "Yeah..."

"I like animals. And outside."

"You don't have to choose right away, but yeah, it's all possible."

"As for me? Besides, Sailing... I don't know WHAT I'll be doing"

"I never really figured on college..."

"Well, you could join the Navy."

"Ensign Siv!"

"My parents would worry about me getting some banal commander"

She sighs "It always comes back to me being 'fragile'"

"So. Maybe we can figure out how to make it easier?"

"If everything is in the Dreaming, then there should be a treasure or something... right?"

"Maybe, and that's something I might quest for" she says

"Hey, hey - you know I can go int the Dreaming now, too.."

"I know, but someone suggested I quest with Bancroft for.. ah couple getting to know"

"...Oh..."

"But... no reason you and I can't do another quest.... mmm" A thought "Maybe we could go snoop on a dragon"

"Totally!"

"Maybe rescue a damsel?"

"I mean, I am a knight..."

"Worked for Tiffany and she's only a thane" A nod

A snort.

"Vali is funny as a damsel."

"Yeah, but he rolls with it" She chuckles

"He does. So - maybe we can find a dragon and save someone?"

"Maybe we'll save a dragon" Amused

"Well, fair enough."

"So long as it's a good dragon, not an evil one. Symon was teaching me all about them, there's this one called Tiamat..."

"I always thought that was from some old cartoon"

"It's from his game book - there's a manual!"

"Huh... He's really GOT to run a game sometime or has he already and I missed it?"

"Not yet. He's stuck in math camp."

"Eewww"

"Yeah, agreed."

"I don't think calling it 'camp' makes it any less maaaaatttthhhh."

"No kidding.. hold on, let's see if the word camp improves unpleasant words... 'Shits... Camp Shits'... 'Homework... camp homework' ..nope... 'Murderdeath.... Camp Murderdeath'
"

"....That sounds like a baller movie, though."

"It does, doesn't it? We should give that last title to Symon and see what he can do with it for one of his games"

"So long as I'm not killed first."

"ha...maybe we'd be playign the investigators?"

"Maybe!"

"Come on, let's go to Five Deep" She says "I got the keys.. and.. huh.. there goes Aunt Kerri's car... wonder where she's off to? "

A shrug. "Hearth Things?"

"To the Hearthmobile!" She strikes a pose

Snerk.

"Oh now I picture Uncle Olgar in a Robin outfit and wish I didn't"

"Tiny little shorts! Ha!" She busts out laughing at the image.

"What I'm saying!" she nods

Soon the two are off on a car ride of their own for budget shopping
