"You're not smiling. You always smile."

"They're fighting again. Why is that?" I asked not looking up at Druig and continued to witness the fight below me. "Do you think it's their instincts?"

"I think it's their selfishness to always be superior to others." Druig said lifting his hand and the men stopped fighting. "Don't tell Ajak."

"Your secret's safe with me, don't worry. Last night, I created a sandstorm because someone killed their so called 'slaves'." I mumbled and looked at the wilted grass around me making me frown. I flicked my wrist and new grass emerged along with flowers. "You said selfishness, why?"

"I've been inside their minds. They are overwhelmed with the illusion of power and constantly want to step over the other person to achieve their means. It's pure selfishness in my opinion." Druig shrugged and sat down next to me.

"I don't think they're supposed to act this way."

"What? Selfish?"

"And narcissistic. They're... interesting creatures." I shrugged. "What I find fascinating is that you don't have to read minds in able to know what they're thinking, their actions say it all."

"You're very observant then." Druig pointed out and I nodded.

"When you have to watch over and take care of them like a mother does a child, you learn their habits and thought process." I explained and leaned back. "I also learned a few things about all of you."

"Yeah? And what are those, beautiful Vena?" Druig smirked and I shrugged.

"Give me names and I'll tell you one thing I've learned from them without them telling me."

"Makkari."

"Movements are swift and calculated. Her thought process is truly something I admire. Plus, she's a great person to talk to." I shrugged.

"Ikaris."

"Sees the humans as a mission, doesn't really try to communicate with them. Has a god-complex."

"Sprite."

"A trickster if I ever did see one. She's great if you wish to cause mischief."

"Thena."

"Most caring person I've ever met, honestly. Her motherly instincts tell her to watch for the children first when fighting Deviants."

"Gilgamesh."

"Same as Thena. He also gives good advice."

"Kingo."

"Best jokes I've ever heard."

"Phastos."

"Great hugs and he's super passionate about his inventions. Sometimes I sit in his lab doing nothing just so he can have someone to rant to."

"Sersi."

"Kind-hearted. Sometimes kinda naive."

"Ajak."

"To be discussed. I have a feeling she's hiding something."

"I'm somewhat scared to ask about myself." Druig chuckled and I smirked.

"You're mysterious, reserved, and unusually quiet during meetings and arguments. Calculating every single movement before you do them. You care for these humans way more than you would care to show. You want to help them evolve, but Arishem's rule forbids you to do so." I said and nudged his shoulder slightly. "In other words, you act like you have a stick up your ass. You need to loosen up, Druig. You can still protect the humans even though you're having a bit of fun."
