Just every time I feel... anything. [No point in being secretive about it, since she asked.] My court looks down on emotions, especially loud reactions. I used to laugh a lot when I was a child, and it echoed around the cave system.

I would love an umbrella, if you have one. I don't mean to inconvenience you.
