A strange occurrance

[queenofpawns.livejournal.com]

[Ovelia appears on the Astral Plane, sitting politely with her hands folded in her lap atop a closed book. She looks around warily, although if she's afraid she doesn't let it show.]

This place is most bizarre. I cannot imagine it is part of some plot, but I cannot truly fathom exactly what my enemies are capable of.

Perhaps this is a blessing? A respite for my mind?

If anything, I must admit it is quite beautiful.

Ahh. Might I ask, then, what you are a doctor of? Do you not have a specialty?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Oh, just a bit of everything, really. I travel and pick up knowledge and try to help.

[queenofpawns.livejournal.com]

That does sound intriguing, although I feel I have had my fill of travel. I wish you well in your endeavors, good sir.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Oh? Have you traveled a lot?

[queenofpawns.livejournal.com]

More than I have cared to, and in company I am wary of. He is...confusing.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[frowns] Is he dangerous?

[queenofpawns.livejournal.com]

I cannot say. [creased forehead] He plots and touts high ideals, yet I cannot follow his logic. He has treated me well, however, and I am not harmed.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

A freedom fighter sort? A rebel?

[queenofpawns.livejournal.com]

A man defying the role he was born to. Or so he states it.

Sorry if this is a sensitive topic but...are you in a position of power, then?

[queenofpawns.livejournal.com]

There is little to be sensitive about anymore. I would not call it a position of power; more like a piece on a chessboard.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Mmm, it's never easy to be a pawn.

[queenofpawns.livejournal.com]

And now it is my turn to ask about sensitive topics. Could it be that you as well are familiar with such a feeling, good sir?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Ah, well. You could say I am. My people always loved sending me out on missions where they couldn't afford to lose their favourites.

[queenofpawns.livejournal.com]

I am saddened to hear that. You do not strike me as one to be used.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Ah, well, it wasn't always one-sided using. I sometimes benefited from it. I just usually didn't know I would benefit at all while agreeing.

[queenofpawns.livejournal.com]

That you benefited at all is no small miracle. Were it was I could say the same.

Do you have any advice for making the most of such a situation?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Hmm...I guess...try to do what you can for yourself. Sounds a bit selfish I guess. But when I do things for myself, it tends to benefit the people around me, too. And it just...works out.
