It's finally time to reap the rewards you've earned from all that hard work collecting and returning the Hope orbs! Be careful walking the streets during the small earthquakes, but feel free to admire the scenery as your beautiful city reassembles its way back into its former glory.

There are new houses where the destroyed buildings once were, and they're perfect for a single person or pair of lovebirds. In addition, you'll find that the electricity to these new houses, and all other homes and shops in the city is restored. The food is better, the monsters are gone- hey, this city might be livable again!

To cap it all off, we've got a feast waiting for you on the 19th! Come one, come all, and enjoy all of your favorite foods, drinks, and party games. It's been awhile since we've all gotten together to celebrate something good, so get your party on and toss all your troubles away!

[ This isn't the first time that she has met a dragon (?) in Hadriel, but it surprises and awes her every time. Dany goes quiet when... it takes a sip, watching closely, no longer interested in the food and wine. ]

You think so? [ She asks lightly. A dozen other questions buzz around in her mind, clamoring to be voiced. Are you also able to take the form of a human, like the last dragon I met?

Is that too forward? ]

Yeah, it's pretty sweet. Literally. [ Carey gives the wine a curious sniff before she takes another sip.]

Looks like stuff is popping up for specific folks, is this one yours?

It is. [ There's another bit of a pause. ] Persimmon wine, and...

[ She trails off again. The drink she's already have gives her a bit more boldness in this moment. ]

... Are you a dragon?

[ Carey gives her a curious look over her glass, confused for a moment. The drinks she's had are sort of slowing down her judgement, but it's definitely not the first time someone's asked her something like that.

Evidently, no one but her friends know her people.]

Born. I mean--haha, I'm a dragonborn. Not a lotta folks know what those are around here.

"Dragonborn?" [ She shakes her head to indicate that she, too, is unfamiliar with the phrase. ] Would you tell me more about it?

I, ah--sure? I mean, not sure what you wanna hear about it.

[ Kind of weird, being asked to describe your own people. Sort of hard to summarize, when you haven't had to explain it before... ]

I've never heard that term. In my world, there are dragons, but they aren't called "dragonborn."

[ Even the Targaryens were never referred to as such. "Blood of the dragon" and such, yes, but not - this. ]

Oh, cool. Wonder how many--which people here have seen dragons.

[ It's an amusing and interesting part of this place - all of the different worlds, the different creatures and cultures and everything else.]

We have dragons too, but it's-- I'm not a dragon, you know? Dragonborn are a different thing. But yeah, I get it, can be kinda confusing, if you don't have both.

You might ask. [ beat ] I would be interested to know.

[ She has a vested interest, after all. ]

Can you tell me more of them? Are you at all related to dragons, if you're said to be born of them?

Hummmm. [ She waves a hand in a "more or less" manner] Depends on who you ask.

There's--there's clans that think they have different connections with dragons and dragon gods and stuff, there's some that--well, hate the big guys, there's people who think we're, huh, from different pl--planes. It's kinda hard to tell.

Different - planes? [ The concept is an unfamiliar one to her, despite being in Hadriel - a different plane, perhaps - at this very moment. ] ... What do you mean?

[ There's a pause, and then she adds: ] I must seem like a child to you, considering all of my questions.

Aw, nah, don't worry. I get, it's-- we're all from different places and worlds and stuff. And I guess there most people don't have dragonborn in theirs. It's okay.

Lots of humans, though. Like, a lot. Kinda weird.

But the humans - we humans - are all so different, too. Some have magical abilities, and others...

[ Dany just ends up shaking her head, at a loss. She's learned so many things, heard so many strange tales, that it's difficult to lump all the people that she's met in Hadriel together. ]

Yeah, that's another thing, lots of different humans. A lotta- you know, all kinds of people.

So, hey, how-- how about you? [ Is that a weird question? It's kind of hard to tell, some drinks in. Hopefully she isn't making too bad an impression.]

Any, huh...I guess, powers?

[ Oh, just semi-prophetic dreams, a possible religious-related destiny, the ability to wake long-dead, stone dragon eggs, and - right. The unexplained nature of being totally invulnerable to fire. ]

No. [ She thinks, anyway. ] I have none. I imagine that things would be very different if I did.

[ Particularly if she had something offensive, something she could use to fight the gods of Hadriel. ]
