*keeps talking for a long time, jumping from one topic to the next one without any breaks*

<--- Lina

*doesn't understand everything but also doesn't dare to ask for details*
*soon gets overwhelmed by informations she can't really understand and relate to each other*
*starts to cry from hunger and despair*

<~~~ Amber Eyes

*eventually notices the girl crying and stops* Now what? Why are you crying?

<--- Lina

*stares at the dragon*
*stops crying and thinks about the question*
*slowly forms words* I don't - understand - what you said. What is a gem?

<~~~ Amber Eyes

Oh. *chuckles* A gem is usually a shiny stone that looks nice, but is otherwise worthless. Very few gems contain life, and those are the precious ones. You can see if a gem lives if you put it near some kind of energy source, for example into the sunlight, near something warm, things like that. If it is a life-containing gem, it will hatch into a living being. Just like an egg.

<--- Lina

An egg. *thinks about the rest she heard* And destroying it means to kill the life in it?

<~~~ Amber Eyes

Yes, it does. Many of my friends died from that. So, if you ever find a gem, first try to find out if it contains life before you do anything else!

<--- Lina

*nods* I will! *still doesn't know what a gem might look like*
*confused* And - and this essence you told about - what is it?

<~~~ Amber Eyes

*sighs* A white substance inside those life-containing gems. It is the essence of .... of the gem people's life, if you can see this substance, the person it belonged to is dead. You humans are completely different beings, so it is hard to explain.

<--- Lina

*nods*
*falls silent, thinking*

<~~~ Amber Eyes

*enjoys the sun shining down on her*
*waits for the next question*

<--- Lina

*notices her stomach hurts*
*shyly* Meow! *puzzled* I mean - can I - can I have something to eat, please?

<~~~ Amber Eyes

*chuckles* Sure. If you can get it.

<--- Lina

*stares with big eyes at the dragon*
*looks around but can only see the dragon's body and the sky above her*
*attempts to climb but only cuts her fingers at the sharp scales so she falls back down*

<~~~ Amber Eyes

*watches and chuckles amused*
*notices the blood* Stop that now. Clean my scales, and then we will see what we can find for you.
