'Immature, that's what you are', the animal says.

'I don't know what you mean, animal', I say. 'What form would your Daemon take?'

'My what?' asks the animal.

'Daemon. Mine is a Hummingbird.'

'Is this a kind of power-animal you are talking about?' the llama asks.

I recite from my mind; 'I have got a Hummingbird. My Hummingbird Daemon would flicker near me, matching its colourful feathers to my own colourful imagination. I am sweet-natured, kind, and incredibly creative. I tend to keep myself to myself, but not because I am shy or anxious, I just have my very own specific interests and prefer to invest my time in those things. I have a dreamy quality but I am not naive at all; I understand that time is precious and so I choose to invest it into my passions.'

'How immature of you to say such things about yourself', the animal is rolling its eyes. 'This Daemon thing comes from some childrens' book, doesn't it?'

'Let me do the test for you.'

I am kind of excited and take myself some time. After doing some strange calculations with ink and pencils and feathers I say,

'You got: Leopard.
Your Leopard Daemon would slowly slink behind you everywhere you went. You appreciate all things beautiful; from simple cutlery to breath-taking visages. You never want to waste your time and energy on anything you deem poor quality – from shoddily made shoes to distrustful people. You tend to have fewer friends, but they're all truly loyal to you and friends for life.'

'I still think, you are immature', the animal says.

We switch roles in this blockblog from time to time, I think.

'Kylie is pregnant.'

'WHAAAAAAT ???'

And the fortune cookie says,

You will be successful in everything you do.
