The name for this park is strange, but it's named after the designer and builder of the wall that surrounds the Elven Kingdom. Holding back on questions for Cera is what I'm doing right now. There are moments that are appropriate for them, and those are the chances I can use to see what he really knows and why he knows all that he does.

Sally is standing next to Cera in front of Jasmine and me. We're all looking at the massive metal gate that's keeping people out. An elf guard steps forward from the side. "The park is closed to new people. Go back the way you came." The malice lacing every part of his voice describes his true feelings for us. Racism against players doesn't really exist.

Not really the most accurate word for what us players are going through, but it's the closest one I can think of at the moment. "Is there perhaps a toll that can be paid? We're here, and we'd all like to see the amazing creations of the elves. Your race is the most superior in all of Gaia." Cera strokes the guard's ego with words covered in honey.

That's one way to get in, but it might not work due to our suspicious attires and demeanor. The hoods covering our facial features are keeping us well hidden. "You're right about us being the superior race to all others." He's falling into the trap. He's not as smart as I thought. He fixes his armor and slowly opens the gate for us.

Just by looking at the back of Cera's head, I can tell there is a huge grin on it. "You're most kind, sir. I'm looking forward to seeing and learning all I can about your incredible race." The guard actually smiles at the soft and smooth tone my brother has. We walk through the gate without hesitation, and the guard closes it behind us.

Once we're all alone, Cera starts to laugh. Jasmine and I join in, and Sally giggles along. "Talk about a gullible son of a bitch! Didn't think that'd actually work!" His laughing slows down as he wipes fake tears away. "Now that we're here, I can say for certain that my head is a bit clearer now." The fresh air outside the house we're staying in is clearing my headache away.

Jasmine takes a deep breath through her nose and releases it out of her mouth. "Too bad we have to go back to that place. I would kill to stay somewhere that isn't a health risk. Not to mention thin walls that don't stop any noises from coming through." Jasmine and I both turn towards the two people that cause such an inconvenience for us.

If you're going to have sex, have the decency to be quiet if there's a risk people might hear you. "Oh, don't look at me like that, Hailey. Do you know how many times I covered for you when you brought a boy over! You were never quiet! I had to tell dad that I was watching porn so he wouldn't question you!" Now that's just... That's just not true... I was plenty quiet.

Jasmine and Sally both share a look of confusion, not knowing what we're talking about in the slightest. "Don't go making up stories! Besides, that's a good thing for you! Mom and dad thought you might've been gay for a while there! It was a relief for them to know you might be watching porn!" My comeback is just as sharp and deep as his.

He folds his arms and releases one of the longest sighs I've ever heard. "We could go back and forth forever, couldn't we..." His tone turns to a soft one, and a smile is seen from the bottom half of his hood. I realize what he means. Even after everything, it's like nothing between us has changed. We're the same big sister and little brother we always were.

~~~(Time: 10:23 AM)~~~

The scene of Cera and Hailey laughing together warms my heart and makes me a little envious. I'd love to have a relationship like that with a sibling if I had one. My main questions are about what they were talking about. I've never heard of this porn, but I'd like to know more. From the sounds of it, porn is a complicated subject.

Jasmine might have the same thoughts as me, but I can't be for sure. I move closer to her and lean down a bit to whisper into her ear. "Do you have any idea what porn is?" She shakes her head and doesn't offer anything in return for possible ideas. We watch as they stop laughing and turn to us. I'm a little embarrassed to ask the question.

To my surprise, Jasmine takes out the blunt hammer, and straight-up asks them. "Hailey, what's a porn? Is it some kind of food or activity you're not supposed to do?" Jasmine is a little off target with her assumptions, but she's on the right path. Hailey and Cera share a look, and it's plastered all over their faces that they don't want to tell us.

That only causes my curiosity to rise even higher. "C'mon, you guys! We don't want to be the third and fourth wheel here!" I back up Jasmine and throw in something that might convince them. "It's not fair being left out of the conversation!" I'm doing my best to drive it home, and it's slowly working on them.

Cera sighs and rubs the back of his head. His face is in a slight cringe in an effort to find the right words. "I'm not sure that you two should know about something like that... It's a pretty sensitive thing, and I don't want to offend either of you... Some of the things from our world would be considered extremely weird and impure to the people of Gaia..." That's a fancy way of saying no.

Hailey walks up to Jasmine and places her hand on her shoulder. "It's not like he's saying that you guys wouldn't understand. It's just a subject that's pretty hard to accept." While all our faces are mostly hidden, it's still possible to discern from people's looks. Jasmine is telling everyone that's a bullshit answer, and they know it.

~~~(Time: 10:31 AM)~~~

These two would flip out knowing what porn is. Jasmine thinks it's food, which should say why this isn't a good thing to talk about. "That's utter shit, Hailey. What's so bad about it that you can't tell us?" The main reason is that you're both ex-slaves. The thought of putting sex out for the whole world to see might bring up something.

Gaia doesn't have anything that allows for that, but we don't know how they'll react because of their past with sexual abuse. "Listen, there is a reason we're not telling you. We wouldn't keep something from you if we thought it wouldn't hurt both of you." My tone is relaxed and soft, trying to ease them into a state of mind that allows them to think about why we're doing this.

Jasmine isn't ready to give up yet, and Sally is staring into my eyes with a passion for finding out what we're hiding. "We're not little kids that can't handle some of life's hard times! It'd be nice if you didn't treat us like kids." Sally speaks her peace with confidence filling her eyes. I'm tempted to tell her, but she might hate it and resent me for having access to something like that.
