I - this is - [ Very clean. Very strange. Very frightening. But that he knows how to use this contraption must mean he is meant to be here.

He stops in front of the large windows. ]

Is this the realm of the Gods?

Where are my daughters?

Apparently. It's why you're here. To be watched.

[treasureling]

Then they can watch me. But it doesn't mean I'll change.

[amarant]

That's fine. It was only advice.

[ Honestly, she doesn't sound or look too put out. ]

[treasureling]

Who are you?

[amarant]

My name is Emblica.

[ And aside from the tone (too serious, by far) and what she's said, she looks and sounds, in all other ways, like a rather normal young girl. ]

[treasureling]

[ That she's a girl means he's tougher on her - less sympathetic, with the expectation that she'll be stronger. ]

Malak. That's my name.

[amarant]

[ He won't be wrong, but that's because she's lived longer than he has. ]

It's a nice name.

[treasureling]

Thank you.

[ It's the only thing he has from his parents. ]

[amarant]

Does it mean anything?

[treasureling]

I don't know.

[amarant]

That's fine too. I've noticed a lot of people have names like that.

[treasureling]

It's from a language I don't speak.

[amarant]

Interesting.

...you should be safe here, if that knowledge helps you.

[treasureling]

It doesn't seem safe.

[amarant]

Only if you make enemies.

[treasureling]

Have you?

[amarant]

There's someone that doesn't like me.

[treasureling]

There are usually a lot of people who don't like me. That doesn't necessarily mean enemies.

[amarant]

In this case, it does.

[treasureling]

Then I'm sorry.

[amarant]

I do hope the same doesn't happen to you.

[treasureling]

It probably will.

[amarant]

How optimistic.

[treasureling]

Sometimes I think my daughters are the only good thing that ever happened to me.

[amarant]

What are they like?
