As we were walking through the dungeons, Crispin kept trying to make conversation. The questions had started pretty benign, whats my favourite food, favourite colour, that sort of thing, and I had replied in one word answers. But slowly the questions had gotten more personal until I started to suspect that he knew who I was.
He cleared his throat. "So where's home to you? Where do you go when adventures are finished?"
Okay, I was certain that he knew who I was.
His question did make me think of home, of gigantic estate and the regal Palace that I spent enough time in to call them both home. I thought about my sister, Mae, and that brought a smile to my face. My older sister, and she looked out for me and backed my play no matter what. Others thought that she was cruel, but I saw deeper than that. She loves me, and I love her. I know that I had a very charmed childhood, happier than anyone could ask for, but when I think of home, it's Mae that I think about.
Crispin was still staring at me, waiting for an answer.
"My family.' I said, and then strode forwards.
