From the comments and replies on deviantArt:
Comment – “I wonder why field veligents, specifically, never get married? Is that different from other veligents?
I’m also curious about how seriously Ere is taking the marriage proposal. While her and Kade clearly have feelings for each other *now,* at the time of the banquet it seemed pretty obvious that the proposal was kind of a sham / mocking thing. Even Kade was surprised that she didn’t explicitly reject him. Hmm…”
Melody’s reply – “We are all confused.”
Comment – “That is cool that games literally grow off plants. How do they know how to play? Do the instructions grow on the backside of the leaf?”
Melody’s reply – “Everyone knows how to play. The game-leaf is similar to a hand from deck of cards. You can get a good one or a bad one. You have your pieces in different colors, then you turn over a new leaf to reveal the randomly colored matching spots. Your chance to win has to do with how well you play the spots you’ve been given . It is possible to win even with difficult spots. This is a metaphor for life.”
