A QUESTION FOR A QUESTION

Your character starts by asking a question, which the other party answers and follows up with their own question. If your character has ever been nosy about something, now is the time to prod into it! Though, I warn you, no one is obligated to be honest in their answers. Lies are allowed. The only requirement is that you provide an answer to the question you're asked.

Instructions:
1. Top level with a question that your character is asking.
2. Go around and answer interesting questions, and leave those characters questions in return!

[a gentle chuckle] Indeed...?

Oh- the house I lived in had beautiful gardens. I was practically raised in them, until I was old enough to be given other tasks. But I was still often to be found there, when my free time allowed.

Would you tell me some sort of landmark from your home? If I were to visit, where would you send me first?

It must have been quite a beautiful house!

[She smiled in return.]

Oh, but there are so many! But I suppose the number one spot would have to be either La Grand Place, or the Manneken Pis. Both of them are in the city of Brussels and not too far from each other. The former is a large market square, surrounded by old guild halls and luxurious edifices. It's filled to the brim with coffeehouses, restaurants, shops, pubs and all sorts of things! Along with the city's museum. The latter is a replica statue of a little boy peeing into a fountain basin. Everybody likes to dress it up in various outfits and props and hang around it.

Favorite place to visit on Avalon?

That sounds fascinating...! And the museum would be an ideal place to learn more of your home!

I risk repeating myself but I favour anywhere with a garden, or even anywhere that things grow wild. I was in another world before this one - one other than my own, I should say - where everything was... awfully modern, to the extent that I didn't always understand, sometimes. But there was nothing to grow - nothing could grow. So I have missed gardening terribly.

Was your home in this city, Brussels, or some other part of your country?

The museum and the food. You can't go visiting without trying anything local! Once you do most of everything.else that's not Belgian just won't taste right.

Ah, that's fine. [She smiled, soft and warm at that.] I've been to places... lived through moments where nothing could grow either. Nothing but maybe poppies. Gardens are quite lovely and a fine thing to treasure and hold dear.

Oh, but yes! My main property is located in my capital, Burssels. I've got a few other places as well! I have to travel a lot you see, so it's nice to have something comforting and familiar to live in while I'm away.

Hm... what would you say your favorite setup for a meal is?
