Fair enough. Can't just slot people in like that.

Correct. I have no need for a parent, and they would have no need for me.

I don't know if family is really about need, but—like, good. If you're fine without.

You've got who you've got.

You've got who you've got.

[she repeats, thoughtfully.]

I like that.

Sooo what's your Master like? Besides being... Confident.

[ that seems like a good way to put it. ]

She is wise. Master has been around for many, many years - she has seen countless generations. I do enjoy her stories of the past, on occasion.

Huh. That... Sounds amazing, actually. Way better than a boring old history teacher, anyway.

It is fascinating. [...] I've found that I enjoy stories from those who haven't lived as long as her too, though.

Yeah, of course. Everyone knows something interesting. Even if it doesn't feel interesting to them.

Do you have a story like that?

[ nope! but as an alternative: ]

... I know lots of trivia about my town!

[headtilt]

I would like to hear it, if you'd like to tell me about it.

[ listen if we get too into this i am going to have to handwave it but alex is pretty excited! ]

There's this island off the coast, right? It used to be a mining island, and they'd cart the coal down to the pier. But the island wasn't really conducive to it, so a lot of the projects and infrastructure got abandoned and discontinued before even being used.
