So, they were certainly moving on from that topic. Though it wasn’t like the darker topic was much better. “It certainly was,” he admitted with a nod, and he was glad she missed it like his siblings. Raj had come to consider it the timing in his life of the events as the sacrifice he made for Dynah, Nadia, and Aryan.

As for the more enjoyable topic of his growing up on a reserve…“Uh huh…which is a good thing, when you have siblings that fly and breath fire.” Which was true, the dragons and hippogriffs were family as much as his parents and siblings. He still remembered the first time Daddy Adi had brought little Rajesh to greet his first hippogriff…he had been soooooo nervous as he bowed. “Wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.” He certainly won the lottery when he was adopted into the family he was, surrounded by all the love and nurturing he could ever want.
"What about you and your brother? Are you positive people as well?" If she had to categorize herself, Mouse would usually rule on the side of positivity. Though lately, she was certainly feeling like she had been less so in some areas - and if she were honest, she was a bit disappointed in herself in that regard. And yet she still could not seem to shake it. Perhaps another self goal for another day. Which was why she especially appreciated the fact he'd given her a moment to compose herself and move along from the topic, which she happily did. Or… solemnly she supposed, given they were still in rather heavy territory. Had she known his thoughts on being thankful it had been him and not his siblings who had lived through it, she would have remarked on how noble of a thought that was. But as nothing else was said, she wisely opted to let this topic go to bed as well, instead focusing on his life at the reserve.

A far more cheery subject she hoped. She stifled a giggle with her hand when he referred to the dragons as siblings, eyes sparkling because that truly sounded like it must have been so fun. "I would think so! Does your family's reserve have primarily one type of species of dragon in its inhabitants or has it always just been.. whoever is in need?" Who would want to trade that type of childhood? It sounded like Raj had had a very exciting and loving upbringing, at least from what she could tell by the way he spoke of it. "Are you close with your dad and your papa?"
