Hi there. What should I call you? Do you prefer a nickname?

Ujuu: Ujuu and Rhys are fine. We don't have nicknames since our names are short and sweet.

Welcome and thanks for agreeing to talk to us today.
Ujuu: Of course! Thanks for having us!

Rhys: Thank you. *Nods head in agreement.*

Can I get you something to drink? Water? Soda? Coffee? Wine? Whiskey?

Ujuu: Do you have any cloudberry tea, by chance? It can be difficult to get outside of Azakua, so I'll just take a tarragon soda if you don't have it... you know, tarragon soda is also difficult to get outside of Azakua as well, um, whatever soda you have is fine.

Rhy: I'll take a sweetened coffee, please. Water is my second choice.

I'll have the kitchen check on cloudberry tea and tell them to put on a fresh pot. While we wait, tell me a little about yourselves.

Ujuu: So, we're both fourteen years old, and we're Shadelkins, which are a nomadic people that live in all parts of Etheria. Legends say our ancestors were blessed by the Zodia Tigress, which gave us our cat like features.

Rhys: Alternatively, scientists think our ancestors started evolving at a faster rate due to the harsher climates that they endured. Our tribe followed the migrations of the Dracaribou, which is a creature with traits similar to both a reindeer and dragon.

Ujuu: Yeah, that's the other story. Whatever the reason, whether mystical or scientific, we have cat like ears, can retract the claws on our hands, have a keener sense of smell, sight, and hearing, and are quite agile.

That sounds so cool. Where do you live?

Ujuu: We live in the country Azakua, located in the world of Etheria. Our father was a Casmerahn Shadelkin refugee who moved to Azakua and fell in love with our mother. We look Casmerahn because we got our father's red eyes, but are still Azakuin citizens.

Rhys: We both stick out like sore thumbs here since most other citizens either have blue, green, purple, orange or even pink eyes. Despite our country being diverse in its population, there's a growing division simply because blue eyes are genetically recessive, while red eyes are dominant. A lot of Azakuin governors are pushing for the idea of preserving blue eyes by deporting citizens with red eyes...

Ujuu: To put it lightly, It's a political nightmare.
