TAKSHAKA
[when you insert the key and open the door, you'll find another humble cottage - the space bends on the walls, but there is a single door that leads to another room; though the door is closed, you can see through it—as if it's somewhat transparent. a wooden cradle sits in a plain room.
inside, a baby sleeps peacefully. when she stirs - calling for her parent, you are there to cradle her back to sleep.]
-
[slowly, the scene changes, fading in and out with various silent scenes—the baby coos pleasantly, giggling jovially when you (presumably) make faces at her; she tries to pick herself up and falls over, but she does not cry; a disagreement between you and her lead to a thoughtful discussion; the young girl carries a large laundry basket to do chores; she buys a pet bird, looking so proud for having earned the money all by herself; then the wall becomes opaque.]
[in the middle of the open doorway, a young girl the age of 10 stands, smiling at you. a bird with beautiful plumage rests on her shoulder.]
[this is your daughter. you tried your best to rear her, and she's been good to you. you know she is capable of anything if she puts her mind to it - even becoming a princess. but you also know it's not easy to become a princess - better she become a princess than go off to war, though. you could not stand to see your baby girl die on the battlefield. what will be will be, though - all you can do is try your best.]

Re: DISCUSSION
That sounds okay to me. Uh, and it's sort of a testing ground, to see if she likes more classes? Without suddenly overloading her.

Re: DISCUSSION
And, as it stands our prior arrangement seems to be working, since we want her to be happy. And, I do think we are doing okay, right now. Uh, and it shows cooperation, which is probably a good thing for her to learn.

Re: DISCUSSION
Exactly. We are doing a really good job, so far, aren't we? Just by doing that.

Re: DISCUSSION
I do not actually know. Um. I'm not human, so a lot of this is guesswork, since, I have a feeling that a lusus is a lot different than a parent, in a few ways. But, I think... we're doing okay?

That is why I like it. I mean, it is hard to not like something like this, isn't it?

And, I would be okay with that. As long as she does not hurt herself.
