Unlucky

Veridia was far more patient in explaining these things than she would have been to almost anyone other than her own daughter. However, the more Ryu's reaction remained indifferent, the more annoyed she found herself getting.

She could tell that this was just Ryu's default state, it was really starting to piss her off. A Fire Dragon would have at least reacted with disdain, since when one would have been so calm? Even the Crystal Dragons weren't this annoying. 

Maybe she had mentioned those names too casually, or maybe Ryu simply had no way of understanding from their names alone. 

"You don't need to try and explain it again, I get it. But I also never said anything about joining any of them. I don't do well with Sects."
