Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rystil Arden" data-source="post: 3056377" data-attributes="member: 29014"><p>Lupaz (take 2)--Lupaz has to be the most creepy and 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.  Nonetheless, it is apparent to her that the way to cheer up Lupaz is not to just be nice to him, since this seems to only serve to annoy him.  Instead, although Nissa remains friendly and kind, she tries to engage him in intellectual conversation about fate, inevitability, and how they can be overcome.  She tries her best not to blow him out of the water if it comes to a debate while at the same time not patronising him.  Of course, he still creeps her out, so she has to struggle not to let this show, as keeping him close for too long makes her feel like she needs to bathe in cool water.</p></blockquote><p></p>
