No, not really. It's fine. And he gives me other things as well, but it's not like Desolation where I have an area to put the things he gives me away. There's only so much room on the ships, right?

[Alisha, you're crazy. The natives are definitely staring at you, but so what?]

That is a good point. Still, it does sound nice to have a sibling to share gifts with.

[ She can't exactly imagine it herself. ]

[That, right there, is something that Edna never considered. Sure, Eizen was gone a lot, but before he became a dragon, he sent her letters and gifts all the time. Even afterwards, Zaveid would come by and make sure she was okay up there on Rayfalke, so she was never really abandoned.

But Alisha was an ignored symbol, only trotted out by the council to be used to justify their shitty politics. She was, in a way, superfluous.]

Maybe, but you have Sorey, Mikleo and the others now. And I guess me. But don't get too used to that.

[ Alisha smiles at that thought. Sure, she had her friends at home - fellow knights whom she had a good relationship with. But... it felt a little different like this. ]

That's true. Speaking of, what kind of gifts do you like to receive, Lady Edna?

[brothersboots]

[ Family that you get to choose is always better. That's why Edna and Eizen's bond was stronger than even the malevolence that turned him into a dragon. ]

Sweets, mostly. I mean, when I can't get Kate or Dezel to make them.

Or Lailah back home.

I'm still a novice at things like baking myself,
but I'm sure that I should be able to find something that should be to your liking.

So long as it isn't Black Goo or something that looks like it was pulled from a fire, I'm sure it'll be okay.

[And that is genuinely the nicest thing Edna can say about anyone's cooking.]

Black Goo?
