*tilt my skull listening intently as I lean back in my chair.*

@Dark Cloud

Half the village rallied to leave the little town their ancestors had built. The other half was furious. "No! We can't leave this land and disgrace our fathers' effort. It would be better to perish." Once their water supply was low enough that they saw death on the horizon, the village looked to be on the brink of war.

*Sigh, even though I don't have lungs.*
Indeed, changing subjects you know..I have never asked what your stories are. So tell me, spin me a tale if you will.

@Dark Cloud

Hm... stories...
*Looks up for a few moments before nodding*
Once, a small village at the edge of the desert suffered from horrible drought. The towering mountains blocked the rain from reaching their little outpost, and before they knew it, sickness had plagued the village. I had lived near that village at the time, and every day I wondered whether they would live to see the next. But the story doesn't end the way you would expect.

Oh you know full well that was not directed at you.

@Dark Cloud

A true statement nonetheless.

Of all things the one I never mastered was sign language. Hm, but y'know dear home is where you make it. Home could just be wherever you go. As the saying goes 'Home is where the heart is.'

@Dark Cloud

If it helps, she can't learn any true sign language either—the problem runs deeper than sound alone. Signaling is about as close as it gets.
*Sips a cup of tea*
But that said, it's much easier to find a home when your heart is at peace.

You are asking me something?

@Dark Cloud

I think this is "I don't want one."

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Ah...So you said she is usually mute?

@Dark Cloud

She was fully mute as far as I knew... until now.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

You wish to return home?

@Dark Cloud

*Shakes off my surprise*
I think she’s calling this your home.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Are you...Ill?

@Dark Cloud

She's mute... normally.

<Snipped quote by Dark Cloud>

*Coughs*
H-ho-meh.
*Winces and rubs my throat*

@Etcetera

*Stares at you like you had grown a second head, mouth agape*

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Anywhere can be interesting, I don't have any that I'm not fond of.

@Dark Cloud

Do you spend more time at one place versus another?
