Well, we're pretty well-off because of Mom, but there's a lot of people who aren't, and there's a lot of countries that aren't, I guess. Because the adults say that other places want what we have, so maybe that's why people have wars.

So maybe if more people could share things and everyone had what they needed the world would be better?

Sounds like getting the people to give up what they had already to the people who needed it would be a hell of an time.

Re: thorn

[therewillcome]

...yeah, I guess it was a pretty stupid thought, huh.

Re: thorn

[justfuckingtryit]

Not stupid.

Just optimistic.

Mm.

I don't really wanna fight wars, but I'm s'posed to, so.

Re: persephone

[maidenmercy]

Maybe if the adults didn't want to fight wars, they wouldn't happen.

Re: persephone

[therewillcome]

I don't really know why anyone wants to, honestly...

But maybe if they think it's gonna happen anyway it's a way to be okay with it.

Re: persephone

[maidenmercy]

They shouldn't be okay with it.

Oh, um... history, books that teach you how to do things... and poetry, I guess. I read a lot of poetry.

[He instantly perks up at that.]

Really? Me too - we should trade sometime.

Re: vergil

[therewillcome]

Oh, really? Mm, we really should... there's so much of it available here, so I never know what to read next.

Re: vergil

[auguryofinnocence]

That's a pretty good problem to have.

[He smiles, trying not to look too eager. Any kid wants a bigger kid to think they're cool.]

But it is easier if you get a suggestion.

Oh, I'm—I'm really glad?

I've never had a big sis before, I don't think.

Re: kestrel

Well, you have one now... feel free to rely on me for anything!

Nah, it's more like... well, it's prolly different in some families, like anyone could be a farm laborer and prob'ly you want women doing it since Mom says we're more disciplined, but you wouldn't if you can do something better.

I'm supposed to just focus on my education and stuff and let the servants take care of the yard and everything. Mom worked really hard so I could, after all.

Re: nem

[unbr8kable]

Mm... Guess it's one of those things where you succeed enough that you can do stuff 'cause you wanna, not 'cause you gotta. Don't mean you can't have hobbies, though. It's like...brain flexibility or something, right?

Re: nem

[therewillcome]

I... maybe?

[ listen, when you're preindustrial and not high nobility people don't really like, have considerations about those things ]

Is that how it works?

H-hey, careful...

[ what a sweet kid, though. ]

What's your brother like...?

Re: yuuki small

[resinkept]

The BEST!!

[ SPARKLING ]

Big brother always plays with Yuuki, and reads to Yuuki, and lets Yuuki sleep with him when it gets scary, and sneaks snacks to Yuuki!!

Re: yuuki small

[therewillcome]

Oh, he sounds really nice...

I'm a big sister, but I've never had an older sibling.

[ relieved, ]

Mm, they all look really tasty... really fancy, too. You can take some if you want.

[ meanwhile, she takes a forkful of her own, and makes a delighted face. ]

[rollplayinghouse]

Yeah. It's pretty great that we can just get stuff like this all over the place now...

[takes a bite from Shrike's]

[therewillcome]

Mhm! And there's so many foods we wouldn't be able to get at all, at home, probably...

[ her fork hovers in the air. ]

Can I...
