"We have a code against running from your commitments until they're finished." Dahlia nods. "But I never wanted said commitment in the first place." Her hand goes to the pin again.

"Because I wasn't the first-born." Dahlia's eyes flash dangerously. "I wasn't born with powers of any kind. I was born as close to humans as pixies can get. The only things I have to my advantage are speed and my size."

"Oh, yes." Dahlia closes her eyes, rubbing her forehead with one hand. "Being told every day by your sisters that you're worthless - and being told by your parents that you're not even good enough to feed the dogs or clean the horse stables. What a wonderful life it is."

"I'm sorry, I don't enjoy being my parents verbal and physical punching bag." Dahlia addresses it at Stu, then turns to Mots. "What's your story, dear Mots?"
"Oh, it's not much of a story. For a number of the first years of my life, I grew up in an elven village not unlike any other. Eventually, I felt the need to leave, and so I did. I had nothing teathering me to the village in the first place nor nothing to run from, so I'm fairly short on emotional baggage."
