018 - A riddle

[childoflorelei]

So small, and insignificant
But with it
The power to move mountains
And create cities
To wage wars, entirely from afar
It grants respect
Power
But not wisdom nor tact
People bow before it
But there can only be one

If you can answer that, then a wish.

...You sound like the old frog lady singer. ...Uh, except your voice is a lot nicer.

[childoflorelei]

That's not the answer to the riddle.

[2yoraedragon]

Oh! Right. [Looks thoughtful for a minute.] Sounds like a dragon or a god.

[childoflorelei]

What did you not understand about small and insignificant?

[firebranded]

Now now, you're hardly being fair. Confusing them with riddles only works when they're forced to do it.

[childoflorelei]

Then they can choose not to. I'd rather not waste my time with idiots.

[firebranded]

You obviously have an aversion to fun.

[childoflorelei]

Tch. Then you should leave.

[swallowfury]

Asch...? [tilts his head and smiles slightly... but he's not going to come out and say that he thinks she looks pretty]

[childoflorelei]

Do you know the answer or not?

[swallowfury]

[blinks, confused] Answer...? [shakes his head slightly, but smiles again] Even if I did... I don't really want a wish, so...

[childoflorelei]

Then don't waste my time.

[discardedwish]

[thinking] Is it love? There can only be one real love, correct?

[childoflorelei]

No.

[discardedwish]

I see. I am unsure what else it could be.

[childoflorelei]

Then don't waste my time.

[impropertalk]

Hey, gorgeous~

Do we at least get a clue?

[childoflorelei]

No. Either you know it or you don't.

[impropertalk]

That's not how it's supposed to go!

Didn't you ever read stories like this as a kid? The young man is supposed to get a hint, so he can solve the riddle and win the heart of his lady-love~

[childoflorelei]

[Is that a... laugh?]

No.
