[ The feed turns on to a peaceful forest clearing. Ahead, curled up in a ball is the spider-dog creation, dozing peacefully. Soon, the unicorn that guards him steps into view, her hew bowing to peer at the snoozing creature, and then continuing on, her steps light and silent

Perhaps growing old is to fill a cup. Maybe to drink it down. I don't know.

Do you not watch the humans as time passes?

[dontdrinkthe]

I do.

[He admits this uncertainly, self-conscious of the way that makes him sound other from them.]

But they are all so very different, I don't think I understand them at all.

Do you not live among them? It would seem associating with humans would aide you in that effort.

No... I have been alone, for quite some time.

If you wish to understand them, it would be wisest for you to speak with them. You cannot do so if you do not interact with them.

[...you mean he can't just hide out with the mermaid and the unicorn and pretend that counts?]

I have so many questions. Sometimes I don't think I know where to begin. Even when they're kind enough to answer, they're all so different.

[ Psh no, that doesn't come even close to counting. :D ]

The knowledge of a world can be gained with the beginning of a single question. Do not permit your fear to prevent that.

You will frequently hear different answers. I myself have heard several different answers to my own question - no one human is the same, and thus their answers will not be the same. It is up to the individual, how they wish to answer, or understand.

[He was really kind of hoping 8'| They're so much easier to talk to...]

Then our worlds are all different, and yet they must somehow collude. I suppose it's no wonder there's so much chaos.

[ But they're not humans! It kind of beats the purpose there, lad. ]

You expected the worlds to all be the same? In some there are no such creatures as I, save for in fables. I do not understand the reason for such differences. I have seen little chaos in my own world - it has not yet given in to the advancements of the age of this world.

[Human are weird 8( ]

Perhaps I did not expect it, but the differences are impossible to chart, no matter how many I see... It seems to me chaos is everywhere, that it flourishes in nature and civilization alike.

[ Hey, she likes humans. The good ones anyway. ]

Perhaps you see only those worlds where chaos thrives. [ Her world was pretty balanced and peaceful, at the time. Thankfully. ]

Perhaps I just know where to look for it.

[notamare]

It is just as likely you seek chaos, and see it where there is none. Speak only for a place known.

I must not really know anywhere.
