Alik looked at her and grinned slightly. "Well, I always liked the multiple choice questions on tests...." He began. "Well, lets see... I was born a looooong time ago even before the invasion. My parents were fairly poor but we lived well because they had some magical ability. I wandered around for a long time, doing odd jobs, finding work in the military and stuff like that. I was a cargo worker when the invasion happened. The invasion left a loooot of lonely, forgotten kids around. I felt bad, I had to do something. I let some kids into my home and then it became Alik's Home for the Less Fortunate." He shrugged. "What about you?"
Serina listened to Alik, interested, she never heard him talk his past before.
