The drow is anxious and also contemplating emotion in this strange society people set up
"Contemplating something?" Ringmaster asks.
She nods "While I was waiting to hear news about alternative payments... Someone asked if I was 'emotionally ok'... Ive... Always seen emotion different"
"How so? I most likely have a perspective more similar to yours."
"... Ive always thought of any emotion as 'ok' except for shame... They all have a purpose and help us in some way... And stagnant happiness in the end accomplishes nothing, and teaches nothing. So... Is it not an 'ok' thing to have and feel them?"
"No, I agree with you. No emotion is truly bad, and none are truly good. All are necessary. Happiness is meaningless if it can't be compared to sorrow, or grief, or rage. Any feeling only matters in how it compares to others."
She nods "And how it can help us to learn. All except shame. Guilt helps, shame does not"
"It has a purpose. Nearly everything does. Shame is a variable, a factor that will change who you are. Make sure you don't stay the same for too long."
"But it places the problem within. Makes it seem a factor that cant be changed... Guilt is similar, but it places the problem external. A feeling you need to get better"
"You can argue as much as you want. I know my truth."
"Im... Not trying to argue... Just trying to understand...."
"To understand someone else's truth is a difficult thing. Very few are willing to accept it openly. Even fewer try to find it."
"What is your truth? I will try my best to learn and contemplate it..."
Ringmaster chuckles. "I have many truths. Some of them more private than others. Which ones do you seek?"
"Anything you believe would be most important to me... That you are willing to share"
"That's too vague, I'm sorry. I know much."
"Then... Can you tell me whatever your truth is on luck or fortune or fate?"

The hooded man is sipping tea from a chipped floral china cup
The band quiets down for a moment, and Fereleth begins to recite "En Atti Loki Fleiri Born"
Azazel watches the band, enamored by the music
The song finishes, and Fereleth walks over to Azazel, gently humming the tune to "Gleipnir"
"Did you like the music," they ask, a light smirk on their face.
"Oh, yeah." They nod, "I like music"
They take a deep breath, "I find the old chants calming. They refresh me both spiritually and mentally."
"I like the songs melodies"
"Indeed, they center me." They close their eyes and breathe deeply, before opening them again and looking impishly at Azazel, "To whom do I have the pleasure of speaking?"
"Fear....." Azazel says absentmindedly, "Thats probably not good"
"Sometimes it can be.... Most of the time it isnt.... Every emotion has use but shame"
"Thats suprisingly wise for someone who didn't understand emotions"
"I understand emotion,.. Why its needed to survive.. Just never heard the phrase emotionally ok.."
"It asks if your emotions are good or bad"
"... Why?"
"To check if they're ok."
"Its... An important thing to ask? Is it important that they are good emotions?"
"Yes it is"
"Why?"
"To understand people better"
"And... Is understanding not still possible with people having the not as good feeling emotions?"

"Luck isn't real. There's only chaos. Things can be random, and that randomness might turn out well for you, or badly for you. But there's no such thing as luck. As fate? It's nice to believe that we all have some great role, some grand destiny ahead of us. But if fate is real, then whoever designed it is heartless and cruel."
