Well, my world was rather dangerous. There were dragons, but not kind and generous ones like you, and gryphons and ogres and sickness. My sister always swore that she would rid the land of these things, but I was too afraid to consider it. But things changed, and I learned that maybe it's something that could be done.
A good deal of my childhood was spent being afraid, but sometimes I think about what it would be like to feel truly safe somewhere down the road. Years from now, mm, with my sister never far away, and with a husband and children of my own. Somewhere I wouldn't have to constantly worry about them all... That's something I would fight for.
No, no, of course it isn't too much trouble! I was just wondering who you'd like me to ask. I'll do that, then. But you don't have to stay here if you'd like to travel outside. You've done it before, haven't you?

But above all.....to not repeat the folly of the past.
