Me:
Hey! Thanks, everyone, for the great questions! *turns in Tonight Show desk to face Maeja and Fannar who are sitting next to each other on a couch*
Maeja:
Hello! *^ ^*
Hello! *^ ^*
Fannar:
*being cranky and arms crossed*
*being cranky and arms crossed*
Maeja:
*nudges him with her elbow* Fannar ...
*nudges him with her elbow* Fannar ...
Fannar:
*mumbles* Hello.
*mumbles* Hello.
Me:
Are you two ready to get started?
Maeja:
Yes!
Fannar:
*shrugs*
Me:
First question is for Fannar from Christine! Do you know Maeja very well? What do you think of her?
Fannar:
She's my sister and she's annoying.
Maeja:
*scoffs, purses her lips*
Me:
Candid as ever. Maeja, who are you closest to?
Maeja:
My sister Aska.
Me:
Maeja:
*folds her hands in her lap, clears throat, sits up straight* Well the first thing I do is wake up in the morning and do some stretches. It's very important for health you know. Lord Nzelt recommends them.
Fannar:
*rolls eyes*
Maeja:
And then I get dressed, usually in one of my favorite dresses. Lord Nzelt brings me new ones from his travels and then I style my hair, sometimes I get a servant for help, usually from one of the styles I see in a magazine. Then I go to breakfast where I have boiled eggs and salmon with dill and sometimes skyr but only if it has berries in it which is usually in the spring.
Fannar:
*huffs, sinks lower in his seat*
Maeja:
And I usually have some tea with arctic thyme. I love the flavor of arctic thyme. It's very good for your heart. I usually take it with honey usually wildflower honey.
Fannar:
UGHHHH! *slides to the floor*
Me:
Ummm Fannar?
Fannar:
She's gonna go on for hours if you don't make her stop!
Me:
You should let her finish.
Fannar:
I'm gonna leave if you don't make her shut up.
Maeja:
Fannar! What's wrong with you today?
Me:
Perhaps for the sake of compromise and the sake of time, you stop there, Maeja. We got to know your morning routine.
Maeja:
Only half of it.
Me:
I'll give you another question. How's that?
Maeja:
Very well ... Fannar, get off the floor. You'll get your clothes dirty.
Fannar:
*slides back onto the couch*
Me:
This one is from Melissa, do you ever daydream about your parents?
Maeja:
Yes sometimes. I hope to see them again after the war. I wish I could write to them, but it could be dangerous.
Me:
And Fannar, Emily asks, do you feel at home where you are right now? Do you consider Nzelt and the other halfuras your family?
Fannar:
I guess.
Me:
Maeja, how long have you been drawing? What are your favorite things to draw?
Maeja:
I've loved drawing since I was little. I used to draw on wood or brown paper since we couldn't afford paper, but since I've lived with Lord Nzelt he's bought me all of the paper I could ever need. I love drawing flowers. They're so pretty. My favorite is Arctic Poppy.
Me:
*smiles* What's your favorite picture you've ever drawn?
Maeja:
I drew this one piece of an arctic poppy on a lava field. I love how it turned out. I should have brought it ...
Me:
It's all right. Fannar.
Fannar:
*looks at me, started shifting one of the buttons on the couch to a point* What?
Me:
What is it like to have matter-manipulating abilities? What all do you do with this ability?
Fannar:
It's fun. I can learn to turn stuff sharp and stab human soldiers. Pew! *punches fist forward and button zips off the couch and hits the wall like a dart*
Maeja:
*yelps*
Me:
Oh ... that's ... great ... Do you ever use your powers to mess with people/for fun? What's your favorite/the best thing you've ever done with your powers?
Fannar:
*grins* Oh yeah! I've made Maeja slip on ice and crumbled her favorite comb when she took my knife.
Maeja:
I needed it to sharpen my pencil, you little brute. I was going to put it back.
Fannar:
One time I turned a whole bunch of snow into a bear and made it chase Maeja.
Maeja:
You're insufferable.
Fannar:
*giggles*
Me:
Maeja, what was your favorite place you've moved to?
Maeja:
Our house by a fjord! I loved the water and the flowers so much!
Me:
If you could leave Nzelt and your adopted siblings to settle in one place, would you?
Maeja:
Yes, definitely.
Fannar:
Can I have a question now?
Me:
Just a moment, Fannar. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go?
Maeja:
Somewhere south. I wonder what it's like somewhere warmer.
Me:
Okay here we go Fannar. Is there anything or anyone who can always bring you joy, even with all the things you've gone through?
Fannar:
Brings me joy?
Me:
Makes you happy.
Fannar:
Oh. Messing with Maeja.
Maeja:
*purses lips to one side*
Me:
What's one thing you liked about living on the streets?
Fannar:
No one can tell me what to do.
Me:
What's the closest to being caught you've ever been?
Fannar:
On the streets?
Me:
Yes.
Fannar:
Stole some lamb. Butcher got real mad.
Me:
What's something that haunts your dreams?
Fannar:
Why would I tell you that?
Me:
All right the rest are for both of you. What are your feelings on Lord Nzelt?
Fannar:
He's fine.
Maeja:
He's so kind and generous. I've never wanted for anything.
Me:
What do you fear most?
Fannar:
Not telling.
Maeja:
Beetles. *shudders*
Fannar:
I put 'em in her pillow--and her tea. *grins*
Maeja:
You should get punished far more than writing lines for that.
Fannar:
*sticks tongue out at her*
Me:
And lastly, what do you hope to accomplish in life? If you could have one dream realized, what would it be?
Maeja:
I'd love to help end the war somehow. I just want there to be peace, so we can be free to roam about.
Fannar:
I want all the humans to die.
Maeja:
Fannar!
Me:
*O_O* Even me?
Fannar:
Except you.
Me:
Even the nice ladies who asked you these questions?
Fannar:
Except them. But nobody else.
Me:
*sighs* All right then. That's a relief. Thanks, you two, for coming.
Maeja:
A pleasure. I apologize for Fannar's behavior because he won't.
Fannar:
*shoots her a glare*
Are you two ready to get started?
Maeja:
Yes!

What does an average day look like for you?
