Notes: Yeah, these are (or will be) 100 Wicked drabbles. In these I put my own character Duko who is of noble birth and has purple spirals tattooed on his face and neck. He later becomes a doctor, and he has a thing for-- well, you'll see.

"So, how did you end up here?"

Duko looked over at Fiyero and wrinkled his nose. "What do you mean by that?"

Fiyero shrugged and replied, "Scholarship, family, forced to, wanted to…?"

"Oh." Duko sighed and rolled over, gazing lazily up at the clouds. Out of the corner of his eye he attempted to count his friends blue diamonds, lost count and finally said, "My father. He wanted me to study medicine here."

Fiyero nodded and watched as the purple spirals tattooed on his friend's forehead crinkled. He sensed a "but" coming and simply asked, "And?"

Duko smiled slowly, and whispered in a quiet voice, "I want to be a writer."
