Here he is! "How're you doing?"

Permalink

Good.
I want to swim.

"Oh, okay. The school doesn't have a pool but sometimes I take the household kids on the school downtime day. - do you want to keep coming to school, it doesn't seem like you're getting anything out of it you couldn't get out of being at the house."

I maybe want to be a student here.  I maybe don't.  I don't know enough.

Permalink

"I think maybe you should practice music and read at home - the school doesn't have devices, it messes with the aesthetic, but the internet has more information about basic things than the library books aimed at kids who already know a few years' worth of how the world works."

Cyllene . . . doesn't immediately respond.

"- is something the matter?"

Permalink

She thinks for a bit.

I don't want some things.  I don't know if you want some things that I don't.  I don't know if you want some things that would make things I don't want later.

You and your family has been very kind and good.

 

A more simple thing I don't want is to be in the same place all days.

"- I'm not saying you have to stay in the house? You can go for a walk or go to the library or the park or see if Sesh wants to bring you to a friend's house or whatever. I just don't know that it makes sense to have you here when you aren't ready to enroll and you've had a chance to meet more people than just the ones here."

Permalink

Okay.

She bites her lip.

I'm mine.

It maybe the best thing but it also is maybe what a person who wants me to not be mine could want.

Permalink

"I - what? If you convince someone else to let you move in with them I'm not going to stop you, but as far as I know you haven't done that. The school's just... for students, and you are not at this time a student. I'm really confused."

If As long as we both know these then it is good.

Permalink

"...okay..."

Permalink

I didn't know so I was conserned.

Permalink

"Yeah, I'm just not sure if there was something I did that made you feel that way."

Permalink

 

She underlines

It maybe the best thing but it also is maybe what a person who wants me to not be mine could want.

but additionally overlines the first five words.

Permalink

"Okay. Well. Ready to go home?"

Permalink

She nods.

Permalink

Home they go. Sesh wants to show Cyllene how her guinea pigs are doing.

Permalink

Well, how are they doing?

Permalink

She has successfully bred them to be huge and still tasty, in this one barn, and small and interesting colors, in this other barn! She explains why she doesn't interbreed the strains because they would just have babies that didn't taste good or look very pretty without a LOT of lucky hay and she can get better returns on her lucky hay by breeding more carefully within the two projects but if she really needs genetic diversity she will breed one with somebody else's guinea pig entirely since hers are all a little related if you go enough generations back, here is their family tree.

Why is genetic davercity good?

Permalink

"Otherwise you wind up with mutant babies! But in this game they just don't have as many or they're less lucky, they didn't program in a lot of weird mutations."

Permalink

. . . Nod nod.

Permalink

"Lune sometimes says he wants to marry Mom but he can't do thaaaaaaat because of the mutant babies and also she is already married."
