Candramus smiled faintly, "Both. I serve the creators, and should I decide not to, I am unsure what would happen. Perhaps my own family would come to try and convince me to behave. I do not know, nor do I care to find out. I am fairly content as things are."

"Some days I am. Though most days I am not. It feels as if I am missing something from my life...A mirror without anything to reflect has no purpose..."

She shrugged. "I don't know. I suppose I like to hunt for the silver lining. It's a challenge and when you have a challenge, things stay interesting.

"Do you like storms?" she asked, changing the topic quickly. She wasn't bored with the conversation, or even uncomfortable. It just seemed like a natural change for her.
