Maybe we should thread one day, seeing that Riverfall and Kenash aren't that far apart
Truth: Oh that's a good question! It's really something to think about. Hmmm . . . so here goes.
Yes, I imagine Verena will come to the world of medicine eventually, even without the mark. Why? Well, for starters, the Loraks are practically a bunch of doctors and healers who happened to be related - a sort of family business. So, Verena will still be exposed to it either way. The mark just spurred her progress a lot faster. It's not a particularly romantic idea, but because of her environment she will still be directed to become a healer of some kind. She loves medicine, really, but it isn't the first thing that drives her to be a doctor. She'll have to learn it first, then fall totally in love with it!
Dare: Food-poisoning idea! Love it!
For Natsu:
Dare #1: Be trapped around a stampede and got almost crushed - or maybe a little bit crushed.
Dare #2: Throw a tantrum and try to hit a non-pycon in the face!
