What? Why?

Just––just for no reason? How often? Are you sure that's not just for Princess marriages?




[Scuffing nervously at the ground with her toeclaws...]

[softlyfalling]

Generally speaking, it's usually because if you're married, you either already like each other, or become fond of each other in that way?

But I suppose it comes down to "because you both want to."

[purrrnicious]

. . .

I don't know. This sounds like some dumb made-up rule again –– like "what happens in games doesn't count", or "don't eat the horses".

[softlyfalling]

..........well, I don't believe in the former and usually people don't resort to the latter except in times of famine because they're far more valuable as working animals.

[purrrnicious]

Finally, an actual reason!

Everyone else just kept telling me it's because they don't look like they're meant for eating.

[softlyfalling]

...I didn't realize people didn't know? But it seems like it's more common to grow up with them where I come from than most other places.

Usually they're more for working fields for farming, or for transportation, or as war animals.

[purrrnicious]

And cows can't do that, because. . .?

[softlyfalling]

Mm, well, they're harder to train for specific tasks like that, although certain animals similar to cows are used as beasts of burden...

...that, and they're generally more docile in personality and slower, whereas you can train a horse such that you can ride into battle on one.

[purrrnicious]

I'll stick with skiffs and tanks, thanks.

[softlyfalling]

Those are, er... mechanical war machines, right? Do they have warstriders where you're from?

[purrrnicious]

What. . .?

[softlyfalling]

It's like a large construct shaped like a person, generally, made from metal and sorcery—they're pretty rare in most places. Even the largest empire in the world doesn't have very many of them, although apparently for D.Va they're really commonplace, or something?

[purrrnicious]

So, what, one of her "mecha" things?

[softlyfalling]

I guess something like that? Although those seem a little smaller, based on what she said, once.

[purrrnicious]

The Horde wasn't that advanced. And the Rebellion had pretty much nothing at all. We didn't have much to brag about unless we got some First Ones tech to Entrapta to play around with.

[softlyfalling]

[ she has no idea what all of that was. ]

Well, I've never seen one in battle—I mean, I'd hope not, they're supposed to be terrifying.

I never really know what's supposed to be normal anymore, though, since it seems like most people here are used to a lot more of what you call "tech"...

[purrrnicious]

[She shrugs.]

Nothing is. We're all from so many different places –– it's stupid to act like yours just happens to be the way things "should" be.

[softlyfalling]

You'll hear no disagreement here.

...but you really should go find your wife, not least because she seems like she's definitely going to have no idea what's going on with this.

[purrrnicious]

[Folding her arms and cocking a hip :T]

Why do you keeping bringing her up? There's easier ways to get rid of me than "go trot after Adora".

[softlyfalling]

Mostly because it's sweet and it seems like she makes you happy?

I mean, I figured you didn't want to kiss me.

[purrrnicious]

Who told you that? I never said that.

. . .About the first thing. The second thing is a definite no way.

[softlyfalling]

Mmmm it's sort of just in the way you act around her?

I mean maybe happy's not the right word, but more comfortable maybe.

[purrrnicious]

We grew up together. Obviously I know her.

[softlyfalling]

Well—

...there's a difference between knowing someone and being comfortable with them, I guess, but it's fine if you'd like to keep hanging out.

[purrrnicious]

Whoa, okay, I never said I wanted to hang out with you.
