I laughed again, nodding. "That one's easy." Images flew by, only lasting a few seconds each; running into walls, tripping over my own feet...
"A few years back, I was at my first ball. It was really grand, swirling skirts and whirling colors. We were eating before the dancing, though, and everyone was talking. I completely dropped one of the crystal wine glasses on the floor while talking to someone. The wine went all over this woman's dress, not to mention how someone slipped and fell on the glass." My smile must have been enormous. "I was trying to apologize, but then I started flat out laughing.
"I was personally escorted out of the ballroom, of course," I added, stifling more laughter. "What about you?"

"Yea. First balls... I remember mine. I was about 13, when my mother finaly alowed me to go to one. While everyone was dancing I drank a little wine...ok, alot, and kind of...well, got a bit tipsy. And since the glass was heavy I droped it on my brand new, snow-white gown...it became sticky and purple. Then, I don't remember how I got on the dance floor, started dancing. Knocked down an elderly lady, and caused the domino effect...Couldn't go to any more balls or meetings till I was..." She paused. "Any, anyhow your churn."

One of my eyebrows rose when I noticed her voice trailing off, but I chose not to say anything about it. I hoped she would do the same for me if it ever came down to it. "Um..." I tried to think of something that wasn't too menacing, but a challenge at the same time.
"Okay... if you could do one thing right now, what would it be? Like, anything at all. World peace, end all hunger, things like that."

Kalia's eyes took on a dreamy look to them, with a touch of sadness as she stared ahead. "I would...I would love to be a little child again, and see my family." She almost mumbled that. "How about you?" Kalia's voice getting stronger.

I picked up a leaf, ripping it apart as I scowled. "I'd put an end to this whole brawl thing between Rutherford and the Sanguine Revenge," I spat, scattering the remains of the leaf with angry eyes. "My life would be so much easier without it."

"It would make everyone's life easiar." Kalia nodded. "But, what's life with out a little trouble that makes people stronger?"

I stared at Kalia for a few moments before looking away without another word. 'If' statements filled my head. If there was no fight, perhaps my family and I would have been closer. If there was no war, perhaps my father wouldn't have died and my mother wouldn't have been obsessed with revenge. If there was no brawl, maybe I wouldn't have been forced to make the drastic decisions I had already been made.
I cleared my throat, still looking straight ahead. "What's the one thing that always make you smile?" I asked, turning back to Truth.

Kalia herd her thoughts but didn't say anything. "That's easy! Good sence of humor! You?" She said brightly.

I frowned, trying to think. I really should have known better to ask a question that I didn't know the answer to, knowing it would have swung back over to me without a doubt. "I guess... being around someone I care about. Or someone who cares for me," I tried to explain, making a strained face. "I really don't know."
"Your turn to ask."

Kalia thought for a moment. "I'm running out of Ideas..." She smiled. "Well, let's see here...Have you ever got into trouble when you were little?" Obvious question, but that's all Kalia could think of.

"Like, big trouble?" I verified. "Uh... let's see...
"Mostly because of my premonitions," I said with a shrug. "I guess my parents had been more hopeful on an active power. You know, something to fight with, like energy balls or freezing powers. So if I used my visions, they would always reprimand me. That's the biggest thing I remember."
And now I was rewarded for it. Funny, how the tables had turned.
"And you?"

"There's not a day in my childhood that I remember that I wasn't in some kind of trouble, and even when I grew up...it's like I'm a trouble magnet or something..." Then she though for a moment. "What's most improtaint quality in a person?"

Hm. I certainly hadn't been expecting this sort of question. "Erm... the ability to know when to shut up and leave me alone," I answered with a curt nod. It sounded odd coming out of my mouth, and a short breath of laughter followed. "What about you?"

"Loyalty, wisdom (Like you said), understanding." Kalia kept thinking. "Now...Have you ever...or Did you ever do something that wasn't like you at all?"

Chills crept up my arms. "Yes," I said quickly and quietly. "And I don't want to talk about it."
There was silence. I may as well have stabbed the conversation to death. But I had obeyed the rules of the game; I had told the truth, and elaboration wasn't obligated. That was clear in the fact that my charm hadn't reacted.
I remained silent, staring at the ground as I walked. The memories flew all around me, and all I wanted to do was to... "Can we start running?" I said in a rush, craving it now more than ever. The burn in my legs, the struggle in my lungs.
