"I'm sure there are a lot of other things that I'll hear about later. Right now - I should eat something. And maybe take a break from talking myself."

"Makes sense. Take care of yourself."

"Wonder what Fazil thought of their conversation."

"Kinda want to ask."

"I suppose there's technically nothing stopping you."

"Gonna come with me?"

"That depends on whether it's likely to get me more or less information, I think."

"I bet he'll talk about it with you there, you might have - useful perspective, and so on."

"I guess so. In that case I will."

"Hi. Heard you had an extensive conversation with the new Imrainai."

"She is interested in free peoples' marriage traditions, I think. Did she ask you guys?"

Permalink

"She did, yeah."

Permalink

"She didn't ask me a single follow-up about Chelish marriages in particular, so I figure either she found them very comprehensible or they sounded particularly terrible. Or she was more interested in what I was doing than in what my people were."

Permalink

"She seemed really concerned about Osirion. I think her society doesn't have very many social problems other than the slavery? Which - seems unlikely but maybe the group she's in is very selected."

Permalink

"That does sound like kind of a bizarre situation."

Permalink

"She had some really neat ideas about how a society could work! I don't know if it really will work but maybe if you have the right starting resources."

"Huh. Like what?"

"Apparently they have community leaders who sort of govern everybody, and intervene if parents are mistreating their children or something, and they do nearly all their moral and historical and theological education through storytelling, which ends up meaning it's mostly done by women because storytelling doesn't require free hands, and everyone knows a signed language so literacy's really easy and they can tolerate living together as closely as they apparently do."

Permalink

"Huh. That is really neat."

Permalink

"It's a bit disorienting to have slaves pitying you your deprived childhood!"

Permalink

"You totally had a deprived childhood, though."

Permalink

"Sure, but there's no slave I'd trade with."
