AMALTHEA

[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.]

All kids are, to some point. She'll get her independence in her own time.

[I clearly have not noticed much.]

I mean we seemed to have, uh. Accidentally encouraged it. 'M kinda worried what would happen if we keep doin' it.

You think so, huh?

[I might only half believe you, but this is a team activity, so mmmmm--]

Then we just watch how much we coddle her. We're not always going to be here, after all.

Don't want to go too far in the other direction, though.

She'll still be spendin' time with us, yeah?

[...Well, someone might be a little red-faced at how that free-time worked out.]

Right, so. How we gonna do classes this time? She, uh. Might be gettin' a little dependent on us.
whoslaughingmeow: (well maybe)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] whoslaughingmeow 2014-05-18 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe we should find time for uh.. a little bit of charm classes..

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] powerpunch 2014-05-18 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
We could swap out one class of kickin' and maths so she has a bit of charms classes.
whoslaughingmeow: (tell me even more)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] whoslaughingmeow 2014-05-18 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
That sounds good.

Maybe something like.

kicking, math, kicking, then free time, math, charm. And alternate math and kicking on the second set..
powerpunch: (You went off somewhere too)

So.. six martial arts classes, six math classes, 3 free time, and 3 charm? Or do we want to focus on math or martial arts over the other..
powerpunch: (Oh what imprudence)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] powerpunch 2014-05-18 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
She's doin' okay in both, so I don't really think we have to focus on one over the other.
