Oh! [OH.] Oh, my. That's quite a lot of responsibility?

[midway]

Yeah, I'd say.

[ Haha. ]

But that's for when I get back home.

[faithkept]

[Girl your nations at war......]

I don't think I've met anyone yet who doesn't intend on returning once they've received their passing grade here.

[midway]

It's very generous of them all, isn't it?

Do you also want to go back?

[faithkept]

I would like to, yes. I can't leave my sister alone.

[HIS SWEET BABY SISTER.]

[midway]

You have a sister? How old?

[faithkept]

She turned thirteen not that long ago.

[Their one month apart birthdays...]

[midway]

Oh, quite young then. Is she a troublemaker?

[faithkept]

Oh, not at all! She's an absolute angel. The very sweetest person you could ever meet.

[midway]

Much like you then.

[ wink wonk ]

[faithkept]

[HELP. He just laughs, bringing a hand up to politely cover his mirth.]

You speak so flatteringly. The work of many poems read, perhaps? Or a natural charm?

[midway]

I'll take the credit, I think.

[ Hehe ]

But you can read more poetry and see if it has an effect on you.

[faithkept]

That would suit you.

[A charming guy who's about to get fully bodied by a CYOA...]

Ah - speaking of, do you have any other recommendations while I'm here and gathering some books up?

[midway]

There's a really interesting book about the weird uses of vegetables in various cultures that I thought was interesting...

[faithkept]

I had meant more along the lines of poetry, but I see you have an eye for varied literature.

[midway]

Oh, you've really taken to poetry, huh?

Trying to impress someone, Lucas...?

[faithkept]

Oh? Is poetry only for impressing others? I just rather liked the artistry of it, myself... So I suppose I did find it impressive.

[midway]

[ hehe. ]

What do you find impressive about it?

[faithkept]

Words are often used in a very utilitarian way in my home. Books are a bit rare, as well... We have so few for children that I actually own a copy of every single one our island has.

[IT'S DIRE OUT THERE.]

So to see people pen things in such elegant and wonderful ways is rather new and exciting.

[midway]

I see.

[ His expression is kind of pleased. ]

I always like to see how people can enjoy the same thing with such different perspectives, and for such different reasons... I am glad you've taken to it.

Why don't you tell me some of your favourite things, and I can find you some books based on that?

[faithkept]

It's a shame we probably won't be able to take many of the things here back with us, if any...

[Like POETRY BOOKS. Or the concept of air flight.]

Ah - thank you, that's very kind. [HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HIS OWN FAVORITE THINGS ARE THOUGH. Just fastly coming up with some on the spot based on things he's already seen poems about.] Nature? I do enjoy the gardens and parks... And the sea, even though ours has always been an unkind one. The moon is lovely, too. I think Adolphe could use a few poems about it to understand its beauty more.

[me doublechecking to make sure adolphe is still alive in this thread HAKI]

[midway]

[ Oh... Cute. ]

Seems you and I have similar tastes. Thankfully, there are many books on the beauty of nature.

[faithkept]

Ah, do we? Then I'll look forward to some very good recommendations. Please do take the time you need, though; we're in no rush.

[Oh to return to the days before weekly murders were confirmed.]
