Intro 
[b]Who are you?[/b]

Aliyah Schilling.  Doctor Schilling, if you prefer.

[b]How long have you been in the city?[/b]

All my life.  How long has the city been in me?  The same.

[b]What keeps you up at night?[/b]

Very little, thanks to a sip of Ease of Mind.  That's a tea from an herb in the [i]Asteraceae[/i] family - that's the daisy family, for the record.  Plus some other odds and ends.  And the shot of whiskey doesn't hurt either.  But if you mean what makes me resort to Ease of Mind ... my family, I suppose.  My community.  Same thing, in the end.  I have responsibilities that weigh on my mind some nights.  People place more faith in me than I deserve, and make more demands than I can handle, which is the fate of every competent woman.

[b]What have you sacrificed for your power?[/b]

I have no power.  Only knowledge.  And I earned it - EARNED it, mind - the old fashioned way.  I worked, studied, practiced.  Oh, I'll grant you, coming from my family I had a leg up.  But every step I took was my own.  If I'm still single in my thirties - a fact that I assure you my mother and several aunts point out every day - and if I have few friends, and few hobbies, what of it?

[b]What do you desperately need?[/b]

What does everyone need?  Time.  More money would be nice, I suppose, but it always seems to come with strings attached.  But I have sachets to make up, and blessing to perform, and teas to brew and wounds to heal and minds to mend and more every day.  Just give me time, and a nap.
