Mine were not always. When I first became capable of experiencing emotions in the way that humans do, those emotions were not my own. They were the echo of someone else, and they never should have been capable of influencing me.
But if you do not ask then you lose that which you want solely because you feared asking. And if this creature is attached to you, I cannot imagine that a simple question would be enough to permanently shatter that attachment.
