I am a Shadow on the Wall

To call her fearless would be an overestimation. Aralanne was more naive when it came to the dangers of the world and almost always saw the good in others, neglecting that the bad was sure to exist. She never has participated in any battle, nor had anyone tried to force her into anything against her will. That is, if we don't count bullying of course. But even then she had paid it little mind, focusing on the good rather than the bad.

The man inquires more information about her, and the blue girl nods in response. "Of course," it was a fair deal. Knowledge for knowledge. The name he mentions speaks little to her, nor did she know of this.. empire, but it sounded like a huge kingdom. This land must be very big, then.. which meant she had so much more to explore! The girl idly wondered how many new plants and useful things she could find. "Sounds like a serious task. Your Empress must have a lot on her plate too." Like enemies. Didn't all great leaders have enemies? It was almost guaranteed to have somebody chasing after you, especially if you put yourself in the limelight like that.

She wouldn't try avoiding her part of the deal though. Let's see.. what could she say about herself? She knew she wasn't necessarily boring, but nor was she that interesting. Surely not as interesting as the guard of a great ruler. "As for me.. I am just a loner, a wanderer.." She said, smiling kindly. "Not very interesting, I'm afraid." Then she remembered her task. "Oh! By the way, have you by any chance seen a small cactus resembling a ball nearby?" Not like everyone was on the lookout for a ball-like cactus, but she took her chances.
