Still, he never really opens up, so who can know what lies in his heart.  Sometimes appearances hide clues, and Nissa is well-aware that despite her personal tragedies, she still had a life that was pampered and wonderful, for the most part...surely Vaukriel has a past more awful than Nissa's.Tempest--At first Nissa thought he was some kind of lizard or beetle with hair tufts, but eventually Nissa sorted out that Tempest is actually a monkey-man who somehow came to be covered in layered plates of buggy stuff.  Also, he can glide, and he has the essence of air within him, which while not as lovely as elemental water, is at least better than fire.  Perhaps because she agrees with him so much about experiencing new and capricious places, she can't help but get into vehement discussions with him about his (clearly false) conclusion that this requires a blind eye to treating others with respect and love.Lupaz--Lupaz has to be the most depressing blink dog Nissa has ever seen.  However, he may also be the wisest and most well-traveled.  Most Blink Dogs live a carefree life, much like the one Nissa once lived when she was younger, and she remembered playing with some of the cutest Blink Dog puppies who were incredibly adorable when she was little...Why was Lupaz depressing then?  He kind of reminds her of herself under Ananke's grasp, exuberant innocence transformed to fatalism and acceptance.  Nissa doesn't care one whit about the rumours of bad luck to all those who associate with him--she's vowed to cheer Lupaz up no matter what...but is she really doing it for him or out of some kind of selfish desire to help herself by proxy, a doubting voice whispers to her at night. Oobobooboo--It's an ooze.  So weird...but it's so cute!  And Miera absolutely adores it, if her empathic signals are any indication.  Perhaps the little water aeon has found a kindred spirit?</blockquote>
