She isn't saying anything. Why isn't she saying anything? Suddenly I feel very young and foolish. Should I have not offered for her to come to my home? Should I have ... I don't know, just asked her to visit? Maybe that would have been better. Or better yet might have been keeping my mouth shut. Ugh. I wish Mother were here. She's the diplomatic one. Apparently I have much more to learn than I thought.

Her comments about my wings make me chuckle. Hadn't she seen this sort of magic before? I guess I assumed that lots had it ... I mean, Ivezho's whole body looks like this, and Father's wings are constantly on fire. There are a few more in the Throat who always seem to glow ... I don't know, it just seems ordinary to me by now. I forget sometimes that it isn't ordinary for everyone else. I open them a little wider, smiling proudly.

"I think I'll be okay." I say calmly as my smile widens. "It's magic. I was born like this - they always look like that, but sometimes they get brighter." Although my wings aren't very big, I stretch them outwards so that the full extend of the embering can be seen. I twist my nose inwards to look myself, momentarily losing myself into the warm pulsing light.

"I didn't mean to .... err.." Why don't I think things through before opening my mouth. What I want is to tell her that I didn't mean to be weird or anything, inviting her to my home. "You don't have to come to the Throat if you don't want. I just thought ... I just thought it could be nice."

Idiot, idiot, idiot! Why was I the worst? When would I learn? Suddenly I am realizing a lesson that I will probably continuing learning my entire life: girls are difficult. I don't understand them. I feel like I've said something wrong, but don't know what and its eating me up inside. I just wanted to show her the sands, and the sea and the dragon fire. Maybe we could fly together and be friends. But now I feel like I've ruined that.

Being young is hard.
