★ WHEN MY HEART IS MADE FROM GOLD AND FORGIVENESS SEEMS TOO BOLD
Hazel found that she liked the texture, temperature, and sugary sweetness of ice cream - the one other time that she'd had it. The chill of the summer treat might be unfavored by people with sensitive teeth, but the odd tickle it brought was part of the fun. The feline wasted little time in making her way over after Gordon's call, drawn in easily by the promise of something sweet. If Suite was doling out weekly tasks like these, Hazel would gladly nominate Suite as the weekly-task-announcer...person-thing every week.
Of course, this came with a catch, and the minute Gordon said "three facts," Hazel's heart sank. Some people were great at this sort of thing; they had no qualms with sharing facts about who they were, what they'd done, or where they'd been. Sometimes, things that were supposed to be sad or horrible were said with a shrug and a dry smile. Other times, it was an attribute that barely scraped the surface of the person - like their favorite food or favorite name. Hazel wasn't like those people; she automatically felt like she had to spit out the truth, lest she live in a lie for the rest of her time. Which...she wouldn't be lying, per se, if she didn't tell the others about her past or some part of it. She would just be beating around the bush.
Hazel had stalled, golden optics pulling up a guard at the prompt for ice cream. Fine, Hazel thought. She could skirt around this, quick and easy. The cocoa colored feline forced her paws forward, shaking her head to pull a smile onto her lips. "Bribing us with sweets? C'mon, Gordon. What's a girl have to do around here for some quick and easy free ice cream?" She teased, tossing the rhetorical question like a line. She paused, letting Luna say her three facts, and - oh, wow. That was interesting. "I didn't know you could sing, Luna." Hazel tilted her head at the winged feline, grinning. "You and Margy should sing a duet sometime."
"Anyway. Three things, you said? Um..." She trailed off as she turned back to Gordon. Deus, this shouldn't be hard. Three simple, easy things that did little to describe what she didn't want people to know. "I wish I had younger siblings," one. "I speak fluent Latin," everybody knew that, but two. "and my favorite fabric is saffron." Bam, three. And one that was totally out of the blue, too.
Hazel assumed that since Gordon had scooped hers out after she had finished her facts, they were free to get theirs as well. The girl reached for a strawberry ice cream cone, because strawberry was good, okay?
