[ insert that meme here

Luckily (?) for Juniper, her Insight skill is just okay, and she doesn't think much about Knives' menacing aura nor the way that it evens out. And unfortunately for all of us, not even Dryads could stop capitalism, probably. ]

Oh... Wow. So more like... a druid, maybe. That's not a race of people or anything, but! Just. People who dedicate their lives and their magic to protecting nature... One of my mothers is one.

[ But on the topic of elves, and her parentage— ]

And I... Sort of? Ahaha. I have a lot of guardians, and some of them are elves, but... From what I've been told, my biological mom and dad left elven society to live a simpler life, so they wanted to respect that!

[ People who dedicate their lives and magic to protecting nature. Knives is not magical, though maybe someone would call his ability to pull matter from a Gate something like magic. It isn't, but someone who didn't know better could make the assumption.

Just like plenty of people in No Man's Land view him as a god.

One of her mothers, she said. Knives finds that phrasing odd, but then she goes on to explain about having multiple "guardians." None of them biological. He thinks of Vash, "raised" by those survivors of Ship Three, and his expression darkens for a moment. ]

How much do you know about this... elven society?

[ It doesn't sound as if she's spent any time with her own kind, for better or worse. To Knives it sounds like a lonely existence, to always be the other. ]

Haha, not much!

[ Sorry to disappoint, Knives. But if he's looking to learn about the elven Deep Lore, he's out of luck. Juniper, at least, has some experience with some aspects of being an elf. The Alchemighty didn't steep her deep into the pool of their people's rituals and such, most of them having lived outside of it for a long time themselves, but there were some things they still felt fit to impart to her. ]

But, um... Well, we live for a very long time! And... My guardians taught me about trance. We don't need to sleep like humans and tieflings and half-orcs and stuff. Trance is like... meditating, clearing your head, and recharging! And sometimes I get weird visions when I do that!

[ The part about being long-lived is something that Knives already heard about from Declan, but this talk of not sleeping and going into a trance instead is new. He crosses his arms over his chest, considering. He has no idea what tieflings or half-orcs are either, but it appears that Juniper and Declan's world has a wide variety of species and races.

He can hardly imagine. ]

My kind doesn't need to sleep either. [ You know, if they use their Gates properly. ] Or to go into a trance, for that matter.

[ He is familiar with the concept of meditating, but sees no reason to engage in that practice. ~~Despite the fact that it would probably be good for his overall mood.~~ ]

... What sort of visions? [ That sounds interesting. ]

[ Her head tips to one side along with a slow blink. No sleep, or trance...? How do they rest? Do they rest? Does Mister Millions Knives know about resting?? ]

Um... Like visions of a past life, or of your future... Or just, like, weird dreams! That happens, too.

[ Her turn to ask a question! ]

Do you ever get bored, being awake all of the time?
