[Fortune listens with rapt attention (although the expression on the mask is kind of... blank...), leaning forward as if it will make it easier for her to hear the story. At the end, she giggles.]
A dragon... that's amazing. That just goes to show what you can accomplish as long as you don't give up, even when things are hard...
[She looks down at the little koi ornament.]
...thank you, Nonon. I think I needed to hear that.
I would use it to make a world that isn't just governed by the whims of the gods, or by how lucky or unlucky someone is.
[Which... uh. She realizes, for someone who's the Goddess of Fortune, that's probably an odd thing to be saying. Still, she's utterly serious as she answers - she's given it some thought.]
In my old life... I was lucky. Unnaturally lucky. There were so many times when I probably should have died, but I never did. But... there were also so many people in that world whose entire lives could be ruined by a string of bad luck. It never seemed fair.
...I want to give the people who live in my world the power to make their own luck.
[ jsyk i looked at this tag all trial and wanted to yell!!
Nonon is somber as she listens. She notes the contradiction, but sometimes, you need to be what you want to rebel against to get to a new order. ]
You're shaped by your experiences, and you don't want people to suffer like you did. That's not a bad way to go about things. I hope you can be just like the koi I gave you. I'll make a dragon if you come out of this week stronger than ever.

If you were to become that dragon, what would you do with that power?

I'm going to make it through this. [ha ha. no she's not.] So I'm looking forward to seeing the dragon already! I'm sure it will be beautiful.

That's the kind of attitude I like to hear. I'll make you the most beautiful one I can.
