Re: This is a Great Plan (Smokefish, Host, Hentaispider, and Hafnium)
The foxgirl puffed up even more at the opportunity to proclaim her heritage. She took some pride in being the daughter of two accomplished adventurers, to the point where she would initially almost scramble to respond. "My mother and father are..." The wind left her sails as the realization of why she had set out from the sanctuary felt like it smacked her dead in the face. She wanted to be known as a talented swordsman in her own right, not given a chance because of the deeds of who she had been born to. Never did she want to be known simply as one among the offspring of her parents, or, gods forbid, left in a footnote as someone who showed promise for her birthright but was never able to accomplish it due to her blindness, she wanted to be known as an accomplished adventurer who just happened to be the daughter of her particular mother and father.
"My mother is a human swordsman who was knighted for her services to the fey," she continued, her pride deflated a bit. "She married my father, a kitsune." Oormi also seized on the opportunity to pry for details about Presea. "It sounds like you might be more familiar with the faeries than I am. I'm only familiar with what life is like in the sanctuary I grew up in, and could not begin to judge the fighting styles of the different courts. If you don't mind my asking, where are you from?"
