"Are you thinking about how I don't need to change my name?" Miraze asked, tilting her head slightly to acknowledge the momentary confusion in Aurelie's eyes. " Its because I've traveled quite a bit, and I'm known as Miraze to everyone who has ever met me. Even though Miraze wasn't my birth name, I am and will always be Miraze. That's why I don't want to give out that name, because even if I am the one who named myself that, its already my 'real' name now. "

Miraze stared outside as Aurelie - Dusk - went on about changing the world. She didn't understand things like that ...

"I really appreciate the fact that you think I could actually change the world. But to tell you the truth, I ... really wouldn't know what to change. I don't understand things like that. Most people aren't all that concerned with things like freedom. They just want their own greed satisfied. There are some, of course, who want freedom and a better world, but really, things like that are just high flung words the majority of the world wants nothing to do with it. You can never have real freedom, no matter how much you try. Even if I tried, I would just mess it up in a new way. I'm not half as efficient as you think. If we change things, they will eventually just turn back to what they were."

She sighed as the suburb came into view. Smiling a bit, "But. I agree that the way things are aren't really very satisfactory, at least to me. Even if people will go back to their own hypocritical ways eventually, I still want to change it as much as I can. I'm not aiming for the top, but it would be nice if we could find someone who is really eligible for that position. In that case, I am willing to lend my full support to them. And I wonder about that too. Whether we can work with the White Mages or not ... well, the best way to know is to ask them, I suppose. But I don't want to run the risk of being noticed anymore than we already have been right now. Maybe we should scout some more before deciding and approaching."
