"Well, Papa says we're adorable, but Mama says we might be luck dragon kids, which is why we watched that movie. I don't know, really. Fluffy and scaly, as far as I can tell." She shrugged, not too bothered. "With dog feet."
She looked at the butterfly girl. "It's pretty obvious what you are, though. Do you feel happier knowing what it is?"

"Ah, that's even more cool. I've never met a dragon before - or even a might-be dragon, for that matter."
"Yeah, I guess it is. The wings and feelers kind of give it away," she smiled with a touch of irony, "but I guess I don't. I mean, not really, but I've never really thought about it. Does it bother you that you don't know?"

"Does knowing change anything?" she asked, honestly curious. "I mean, it's not like I'm going to go run around looking for my real parents. I came from a vegetable, after all. And I like the parents I have just fine, even though Papa has fangs and Mama can shapeshift."

"I don't know, honestly. I mean, I've got butterfly wings growing out of my back so how would I not know? And I can't really imagine having wings and not knowing, but then again I can't imagine not having wings and still being me." This was getting confusing, and slightly philosophical.
"I guess not." She'd been guessing a lot of things today, actually. "It's the same for all of us, even if my mom hasn't got fangs or powers, but I don't really see anyone caring, yeah? So, I guess it really doesn't change anything."

"Exactly!" Kash said, glad that her point had been made. "So I don't think it's a big deal knowing or not knowing, to tell the truth. I'm me, Rhye's Rhye, and you're you, right?"
She finished off her sandwich and grabbed her juice box, only to spray herself in the face as she poked the straw through the hole. "Maaaan," she said. "I'm such a clutz." She made a face, then wiped it off with her sleeve, since the shirt was already a mess.

She giggled loudly when Kash ruined the thoughtful mood by getting more food on herself. "So much for deep thought and reflections, huh?" She smiled mischieviously, "Are you always this clumsy? No offense." She added hurriedly, honestly not wanting to offend but to make conversation.

"It's my luck," Kash said with a shrug. "This always happens to me. Whenever I walk down the street someone hits a puddle so it hits me. When I walk down the stairs I tend to trip on something. It sucks." She sighed, obviously irritated, but used to it.

"That sounds awful." Maddy frowned, taking a moment to think it over, "Well, if it's your luck, can't you buy one of those magic luck charms? I'm sure there's a magician out there that can make one for you."

"Yeah, maybe," she said finally. She wasn't big on the idea of magic, for some reason. It was too much like fairy tale stuff, or something. "I'll outgrow it," she finally decided.

"I hope so. You'd end up spending a lot of money on new clothes if you have to go through life like this." She eyed the two stains on Kash's shirt speculatively.

"Ginger ale," Kash said simply. "It works, really. But this was still my last white shirt. I don't think I'll get any more. Ever." She glanced up as the bell rang. "Time to go to class," she said. "It was nice talking to you, Maddy!"
And she still had no idea why she had been stalking her. Meh, it didn't matter, she decided. "I can draw you later, right?"

"Alright, that sounds good. Bye!" And she'd gotten away with her Secret Santa-status undetected, too!
The butterfly girl praised her luck as she packed her stuff and got ready for class, a lot calmer with the whole spectacle out of the way.
