Free For All Friday!

Does she have a hidden talent that she's particularly proud of?

Nahi wrote out another recipe card for Lukel, he had figured out what all the spices were and he had made a roast boar loin, so as promised she made him a new recipe to try. She hadn’t known how to cook at all when she and her mother moved in with Irenthalas, but he took the time and taught her, he had taught her a lot of things over the years but this was the most tangible. Cooking was a little passion project for her and anyone that had come to her home since she moved into it would know, she always had food ready for visitors. (Thank you for the question @losseignol) (Mention to @lukel-sunshadow )

FFAF - Has Nahi ever found herself in a situation where she displayed cruelty? What inspired this mean streak? And is there guilt for it by association?

Nahi was most definitely cruel in her life before everything shifted for her with her mother's injury, she used being cruel to others to keep barriers up between who she was socially and her home life. Guilt is a pretty solid companion now because of things she did and she does her best to not be mean to people now, but she slips and sees it in herself.

((Appropriately enough You're No Good by Linda Ronstadt came up while writing this)

FFAF —

What is Nahilvi most looking forward to at this moment?

Summer break from her classes. She is struggling with some things about her classes and is really in need of a break. Self-doubt is a constant companion when it comes to school at the moment. Thank you for the question @lilyofporcelain

FFAF - Is Nahi's hair color naturally that color or is it dyed/magically attuned?

It is actually an enchantment. She met a woman in Dalaran that makes them for her, magic is amazing! They last a few weeks before needing to be recharged, so she keeps a number of them around. (Also a good explanation for how the barber's chair does things instantly) There are times that she will change colors, she used pink for After Dark, and will be using them this weekend. Her natural color is white like it is at the roots normally, just like her mother's.

FFAF —

Does he do much in the way of writing? He seems well connected, so it seems likely that he'd be rather talented in the art of the written word.

He is well skilled in writing notes, thank you cards and letters that etiquette requires, but he also considers the written word an art. There are journals he has written that are laced with intricate codes for the work he has done, and spells on them that need to be unlocked or the writing won't even show. Jes *hates* Nahi's constant use of her comm unit over them writing back and forth, and has let her know. He has even taken to writing her anyway, she has yet to respond.

FFAF - What's her biggest regret from a relationship, platonic or otherwise?

Nahi was 100% a mean girl and has many regrets about things she has done, the number of relationships she destroyed for fun, or spite. Confidences she shattered, secrets she didn't keep. Alliances, those were the best for her, when she would learn about one house trying to build a connection through marriages, she sought out to torpedo them if she could. The one she regrets most is a young woman that Nahi allowed into her circle of friends who lost not only a fiancé, but ended up taking her life after the shunning Nahi orchestrated for her. In her head she killed the woman, talks with her therapist and some other people, have her reconsidering that level of guilt, but she will probably never let that fully go.

What does she think would help to improve the society she lives in?

Nahi firmly believes that if people were active listeners everyone could be understood a little better, which would lead to less conflict. The other day I heard someone say that we were given two ears and only one mouth so we would listen more and speak less. That is the kind of thing she would say herself if asked this question. Thank you for the question @theconstructsworld
