She nodded enthusiastically when Dot asked if she could tell more stories later - Rowan loved to talk about her family, they meant the world to her and she thought everyone should be lucky enough to know them. But then Dot had carried on and she was a little confused... "What's a Rockette..?" Rusty actually had no idea. At first she'd heard it as 'rocket', but quickly realised a person couldn't be a space ship. "I don't really know where I'll be yet. I'm just hoping I'll be happy and I guess I'll probably still be living at Heart of Nature because I don't really want to move and maybe I'll have met someone who I want to be... like... with... but maybe not cause I'm not sure if I'm really bothered about all that. I would like to be a Seer I think... Like.. y'know... for a job. If I have to have one. Maybe I should try and see what my future is going to be like and then if I can see it then I'll be able to be a seer, right?" Rusty had never really thought about that far in the future. Well, not her own anyway... Hm. "Oh, it's a dancer! They dance in New York, and they do this amazing kickline thing that they're famous for," Dot held out her arms and did a high kick that was a lot less impressive in heavy robes than it would be in a short skirt. Even if she DID manage to kick as high as her head. "I've always admired them so much, and I'm almost tall enough to be one now."
She did listen carefully to Rusty's plans, especially because there were still so many bits and pieces that she didn't understand. Like what was Heart of Nature? And could you plan to be a Seer, or did it just sort of... happen? "I think all anyone wants is to be happy, don't you? It's a good goal to have. Lots of stuff changes about what you want, but you never stop wanting to be happy."
They were actually down to their very last question, but it was the hard question. The secret telling. Dot chewed on her lip and settled back on the railing. "You have to promise not to tell my secrets, okay? Those are the rules... what is said on the bridge stays on the bridge." It was the only way they'd be able to get through this part. Mutual trust or whatever. "I'm... adopted, which is not a secret, but I've been thinking about finding out where I came from. And that would really hurt my parents feelings. So that's all, and now it's your turn." Move along move along move along.
