[X] Answer Honestly Mention the discussion of Lynx's origins and see what Elaine has to say on the matter.
We have found Alexandra's ultimate weakness!Soon you make it to the counter, and you're distracted by the display of various succulent-looking pastries and tarts locked behind the glass. There are a couple of people in line ahead of you, so you're left to drool helplessly at the collection for several long, torment-filled minutes. This has to count as some sort of cruelty, you think. Alexandras have the right not to suffer cruel and unusual punishments like this, right? Your stomach grumbles further, driving the point home. God you're hungry, and the flaky crusts, fresh-gleaming fillings, and enchanting smell aren't helping in the slightest.
Hmmm...pie thief?"Though…" she tilts her head, looking at Lynx as if trying to dissect a puzzle. "You do look a bit familiar. Have you perhaps visited here before?"
Lynx chuckles nervously, offering a big fake grin. "I have never been to New Cauterets," she says, sounding truthful but still with a strange inflection that you're not quite sure how to read.
Oh. Well, that's okay then! Diaspora is a real thing! All you have to do is send money back and/or drive local politics towards always supporting your old home anyway, that's really doing your patriotic duty!"It's… complicated," she says, biting her lip. "I'm here as a recruit from Diphaci. That's where I've lived for the past few years. But… not always. My family and I used to be from Cauterets, until the invasion. We moved to Diphaci after getting away, but when a lot of people moved back here more recently… we didn't."
Changing the Subject should be the winner, because even if there's splitting amongst the sub vote, that's ultimately just a cosmetic choice compared to the more meaningful intent of the main vote. Which is to not start immediately blabbing about Lynx's personal history that she's not proud of, to the girl she's having some problem with that we don't understand yet, without knowing if she's already aware of it, or if Lynx is actually okay with telling her about it if not.Sooooo
Change the subject has collectively 10 votes, but the subjects differ
Answer honestly has 8 votes, more than any single change the subject ones
Which vote won then?
