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?

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

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.

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

Mm... maybe.
I dunno how many people there are that have the power to do anything about it, though.

...yeah, I guess it was a pretty stupid thought, huh.
Probably not enough, even if there were people like that.
Well, you have one now... feel free to rely on me for anything!

[ listen, when you're preindustrial and not high nobility people don't really like, have considerations about those things ]
Is that how it works?

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

I guess... though, people aren't very kind to each other, are they.
