10.) I didn’t really have much education back in Ealdor, so I mostly learned to write from my mother and Will (he was older and had learned before me). My mother has rather neat writing while Will..um, it’s hard to read, to put it kindly. I ended up getting a mix of that. I tend to write in a sloppy kind of cursive-y script. When I focus, I can write very nicely, but most of the time, it turns out looking a bit rushed.

16.) I have many fears, but perhaps the most pressing, is that of isolation. I fear that one day, I’ll be left alone, all of my friends either having left me or dead. I draw my strength from my loved ones, so I couldn’t possibly imagine being without them. My second greatest fear is my own magic. I’ve seen what magic is capable of and I never wish for my own magic to be used in such a way. Growing up the way I did, I’d always heard of how magic corrupts, how it is inherently evil. And while I know this to be false and just the talk of fearful people, sometimes I still worry.

19.) So many things make me happy. Helping people out, for one. Walking around the citadel and watching the many bustling citizens, bickering with Arthur, going to the tavern with the knights, going on hunts with Arthur so that I can see more of the world. Yes, I think going out of Camelot with Arthur– and the knights, usually– is one of my favorites. There’s just something so peaceful about sitting in the woods, surrounded by nature with good people, the warmth, and the quiet sound of crackling fire around you.

I’ve been shown mercy by the kind King Arthur and his servant Merlin. In exchange for my life, I must answer all questions truthfully. That is if I choose to answer at all. Oh don’t give me that look. I don’t bite- much. 

2. I generally don’t enjoy being touched, especially when it’s unexpected. Even before, the only person I’d allow to touch me was Guinevere, and mostly only to help me dress when necessary. However, occasionally Uther would touch me out of some sort of fatherly affection… there’s really no better way to say it. I hated the man, and appreciated his touch just as much as him.

The simple solution is to not touch me at all. Don’t do it. 

3. How long do I hold grudges? I thought you’d know the answer to that by now. For as long as necessary, which is usually a very long time. I don’t hold grudges without good reason, and when I do, you can expect me to stand by it.

8. I will admit, I used to deal with being ill very poorly. Understand that I was used to having Gaius around to help me when I needed him. His remedies worked quickly and well for me, so when I finally got sick and didn’t have his aid… well, let’s just say I didn’t enjoy it. At that point my magic was weak and I don’t have the skills of a physician. However now I’ve matured and can take care of myself. Being sick is no longer a real problem unless deadly, it’s just an inconvenience. 

The nightmares were another thing though. It wasn’t an illness really, at first I thought it was. I had no other way to explain them, and neither did Gaius. They were just so horrible, so vivid… well, now I suppose we know why.

19. In all honesty, and since I really don’t have much of a choice, one of the only things that brings me joy is Aithusa. Aithusa has been the one who has never wavered in loyalty. She’s stayed by my side through each of my endeavours, and I am grateful for that. Everyone else in my life has either turned on me or left me. Typical isn’t it? As one of the only dragons left, she knows what it is to be an outcast. To be hunted down for who you are, despite having no control over how you’re born. Yes. Aithusa is the only thing that makes me happy besides my magic perhaps.
