"All your stories have dying in them."

"No one tells stories about people going to the store and buying a new crystal ball and taking it home and watching shows on it."

"Why not?"

"I don't know. I guess because they are boring. Some shows are just 'these people go around having funny situations happen to them' and nothing bad happens really - or at least not permanently - but I feel like that kind of show would be hard to summarize on a horse."

"Why?"

"Because I couldn't set up the funny things so they were actually funny, so it'd just be - Aerith and Ellie are college students, and they're trying to scheme to cheat on a test because they didn't study, and they come up with a plan to sneak in through the window, but they realize they've gone in the wrong way and are now in Aerith's ex's dorm, and he's been turned into a cactus in a fight? And in the course of attempting to fix this they cause enough damage that exams get cancelled and then none of that is referenced next episode."

"Turned into a cactus!" says Segda.

"I think it's a school of enchantment. Not of, like, law."

"What are human schools like?"

"There are lots of children of the same age, and they go to a school every day or they live there, depending, and they go to each class and learn about that subject from a specialist in it, and do assigned practice."

"Depending on what?"

"How far from the school do the students live, is it safe and reasonable for them to travel? How did that area do school a long time ago? How many hours are the children in school?"

"What are subjects?"

"Reading, accounting, history, geography, fighting..."

"Wow."

"How do your people teach their children?"

"Kids watch grownups. And grownups tell kids what to do all the time. And sometimes that is some of those things but kids don't go off a different place to do them."

"These humans might do that too, schools are more common in more advanced societies."

"Why?"

"That's a good question. I dunno. There's more to learn. And people don't need their kids to work as much. And they're more likely to do things they can't take their kids to."

"Why can't they take their kids to things?"

"Because they do something dangerous or something delicate or something children would interrupt."

"Don't they tell their children not to?"

" - yeah, but their children don't always listen."

"Oh."
