[Once more the Malnosso had changed her. She hated it when they did that. She still wasn't sure how, but it was frightening to be so small and vulnerable again. More than that it left her thinking of her home and family left behind. How were they doing? Were they all alright? She knew they must be. She was just one dragon after all. The world back home would not stop turning without her.

So why did she ache as she thought about her home now?

She tried to distract herself. Moving around the different community buildings as she would need to move back into one soon. Winter was coming and she did not want to sleep through it with the Malnosso about. She visits the grocery store where she'll help herself to some of the raw meat that is there. It doesn't taste as good as the stuff she catches, but it will do again for winter.

Yet, her mind keeps falling back towards her home. How lucky she was that her body adapted well to the changes she went through growing up. Not all born with mixed blood was so lucky. Her mind spent a lot of time focusing on her mother too. Is this what the humans called homesickness? It's awful and she decides to pull out her journal to find out how they dealt with it.]

Those who miss your homes in this world. How do you fix it?

[After some time walking around town she'll be heading back to hang out near the lake.]

But if you do not replace the friends then will it not still hurt? [Not that she has any idea how to replace a friend or if he could.]

...Yeah, sometimes. When you're thinkin' about it or you got a spare moment. But people gotta work with that.

I wish for it to not hurt anymore. That is what I wish to fix.

Then I don't got a sure fire way for that. But for now, why not make some more friends or maybe find a job or hobby or somethin'. And if that doesn't work, we can both go 'n try to do something else.

What is a hobby? Will that help with this feeling that I have?

It's something to do! So... probably!

I have to do something. What is this... something that I must do for a hobby?

That's what it's all about - something. You know, like something that interests you.

Interest? I am interested in hunting. [As it leads to a fully tummy! That's what he means, right?]

O... kay but can you even do that in the winter?

[Crap! Does he know that she's suppose to sleep during the winter?]

I will do as I must to survive. There are other creatures who are awake during the cold who also hunt.

Well yeah, but you don't have to hunt here. I mean if you wanna, you can, but I meant more like games or readin' or whatever to do with free time.

I do not like the strange food that is in the home with food in it. When I do not hunt, I rest.

[ ... Okay?] Isn't that boring?

It is wise to reserve your strength for hunting and defending your home.

Yeah but you might got nuts from not doing other stuff.

Go nuts? I do not eat nuts. So why would I go to them?

No... no, like stir crazy!

I am not stirring anything! I am also not crazy.

I didn't say you were! Either of those things! I meant that doin' the same thing all the time can make people crazy!

But you must hunt and eat food in order to live. Does the very basics of living truly make humans crazy?

No...?

Sort of? A little?

[She raises an eyebrow.] I am surprised humans live as long as they do, if even living can drive them crazy.

It's doing nothing which can make you go nuts!

Then they should return to hunting rather than going to that building and having their food handed to them. Hunting keep the mind and body prepared for the challenges of life.
