[In 304, a nun in an ash stained provincial dress and a half elf from the Times of Yore are crowded around a tablet propped up at the table. By the expressions ranging from serious to annoyed, some sort of argument has just taken place between the two of them.

Rosette is the one to address the network, as if proving a point in the simple asking.]

So! Hypothetically, if someone were going on a mission and needed to blend into the turn of the millennium, average working class crowd... what would you wear?

[It all comes back to the money problem in the end, doesn't it...? Or at least, that's what Shiki got out of it. She gives a sort of nod in understanding.]

It's a good way to meet people and make new friends. But there really isn't anything wrong with being taught at home, either.

Did you like it?

[hyanaimne]

[she tilts her head, a bit confused at the explanation and question]

Yes . . . ? I preferred studying to most things in my youth. Though . . . my village was a bit small, so meeting new people was a bit hard to do.

[Shiki certainly didn't mean to confuse her, though she's definitely feeling that culture barrier again. She's leaning new things about new worlds, though... so that can't be a bad thing.

She looks thoughtful.]

I see...

But you did mention traveling, so I bet you met plenty of people that way.

[hyanaimne]

Ah - yes. I spent almost eleven years traveling, so I had the opportunity to meet a number of different people. [she almost said "honor", but no. No, it was not an honor to meet most of them]

[grooves]

[--!!

Her mouth hangs open for a bit as her eyes widen -- because eleven years. She can't even imagine what that might be like...]

Wow! Th- That's... That sounds a bit exhausting, actually... [She gives a sheepish laugh. She loves meeting new people, but...] Eleven years is... almost my whole life.

[hyanaimne]

No, it is exhausting. [not that she was a social butterfly or anything]

. . . just how old are you, if I may ask?

[grooves]

[...For a moment Shiki almost wants to ask how old she thinks she is. She'd be curious to know how she comes off, but she always hates it when people are secretive like that for no reason...]

I'm... fifteen. Though I guess sometimes I can act a bit younger.

[hyanaimne]

I thought you were a little older, to be honest . . .

I was fifteen when I started traveling.
