Val admitted that he really did not understand her and therefore puzzled Dwin, who had not expected him to agree with her on this. People usually continued to argue and make their point. Huh. She thought to herself briefly, memorized this and went on listening about Sappique. 

He gave disappointingly little details about it, but emphasized that people he loved and cherished were the true definition of home. Dee had expressed a similar sentiment and at the time Dwin had not completely agreed. Now - as time had passed, she no longer knew exactly, what home was anymore. 

"It was that simple, when I was a kid. And I was so glad to be back from my first stint at travelling," she shared. "But then my siblings left and new were born and everybody had each other with... I do not really have friends there," she concluded and this surprised even her. "I mean... outside family, people I could talk to - like we do now," she clarified so that Val would not start to see her as this poor friendless creature that needed to be pitied. 

"It is... I dunno. I love my dad and mom so much, I know that they won't be around forever and I love to talk with them - they are my favourite people, but... they are parents. They are not friends. You do not... cannot tell them everything, you know?" she weaved the line of thought as she went along. "And they do not have the same interests either. I have heard stories of mom being a great traveller and adventurer in her youth, but now... she is so wrapped in kids and caring for my dad - he is very old - that she is no longer interested," she explained. 

"So... in essence... I think some parts of the home are still there, but it is no longer complete. It does not make me happy or fulfilled. Or inspired," she finished. Brecheliant - the forest of stories and magic - had faded away. The place was still there, but the magic was gone. "Ever felt like that about your home?"
