Dawn Treader Valley i could be very happy with this

Dahlia embraced a little pain. She liked to suffer a little. everything she had done to become beautiful involved suffering; it reminded her of her efforts.

No, she said decisively. I like learning from you, though. Hopefully that softened any expectation that Petal might have had — although her sister seemed to conscientious to project anything onto Dahlia.

She didn't know how to describe what she wanted to do. She hadn't been taught the word diplomat. There was something about posturing and politicking that enticed her, though.

That, and she just liked to be the center of attention. Like that would ever change.
