Her eyes sparkled behind those goggles at his words. Fractious? It sounded like he'd stolen a page out of her father's handbook. "Unfortunately, I have always been fractious and likely will remain so until my death - whether timely or untimely," she said drily, "And yes, while things are certainly more dangerous now, there is always some small element of danger to the matter of living. Otherwise, it would be no fun at all, but I'm starting to guess you're a big fan of no fun," she mused, turning away to gaze back at the distant, glowing sun. Dangerous. That was one word for it. It was also strange, unpredictable, and entirely new. Not many things in life were this sharp of a departure from the norm. If only she had more information...
"... no doubt they're intolerable." At this, she finally let out a true, sparkling laugh. Makara turned to look at him, a pert smirk on her face, looking for all the world like she'd break out into laughter at any moment with each passing word: "Well, I'll be damned, how'd you guess? I'm not sure how everyone is getting along up in the great north, but last time I was home my brothers were being militantly trained under the exacting eye of my father while he broke my sister's toes and struck mortal fear into us all every single day. As for my mother, well... she wouldn't want to get her coat ruffled by intervening, now, would she? But - " she grew just a touch more serious, sucking in a deep breath. "So much time has passed. It's possible things have changed more than I'd anticipated, and how could I die peacefully if I don't give them the chance to turn their backs on me one final time? I'm an optimist, really, at the heart of it all, and I do think you are quite the opposite. A pessimist, although you'd argue pragmatist."
