To help my brother's cause. [It comes automatically; what else could there be?]

[insistently]

But what is it that you want?

[preborns]

[To love and be loved. It's all she's ever wanted, but --]

I want him safe, and that means doing my best to support him. Regardless of the cost.

[insistently]

I feel the same about my brother. But there must be something you want for your own life outside of all of this.

Even if it's a pipe dream to you.

[preborns]

I...I want to stay myself. Just myself, not my heritage or my destiny. I want to be loved for that, not what I can do.

[insistently]

That's what I hope for myself too. To stay true to who I really am.

Tell me about you?

[preborns]

I hope you're able to. It's not a very easy task, I'm learning.

My name's Alia. The people of my planet call me Saint Alia, of the Knife.

[insistently]

Alia.

I'm Vasilisa Dragomir. Lissa for short. Our journeys aren't the same, but I sense some similarities.

[preborns]

What a pretty name. Tell me about your family -- a name like that suggests a weighty legacy, Lissa Dragomir.

[insistently]

We are Royal Moroi - people who drink blood to survive. My family is a part of the aristocracy and my brother is next in line for the throne. I plan on taking a leave of absence from my princess duties.

At least I hope to. So I can explore the world.

[preborns]

Royal Moroi. [Alia keeps her private terms for such creatures to herself; they don't seem polite for the current conversation. Besides, royalty respects royalty.] It's fortunate that such leaves are allowed.

What do you want to see? Manmade wonders, or natural? I've been fortunate in my upbringing to see much of my planet, but I've not been offworld yet. My brother thinks it's too dangerous -- our family has many enemies.

[insistently]

Both. I've always wanted to study art and art history and this is finally my chance to explore those options outside of our enclosed world.

I understand that about your world, though. There's always someone ready to take the throne in mine.

[preborns]

Art? What sort of art? And are you an artist yourself? You seem one, there's an air about you. A fan of beauty, beautiful things.

A large family. Mine is...well, it's complicated. By blood, there's only my mother, my brother and me. But I'm not only myself, you see.

[insistently]

I sketch sometimes, but I wouldn't call myself an artist. ( she smiles demurely. ) I do love beautiful things, old things with great history behind them.

What do you mean "not only yourself?"
