"It's kind of hard to tell for sure."

"Why?"

"Mm...because luck is supposed to be random chance, and it's hard to tell the difference between someone randomly having a bunch of good things happen to them and having a trait such that good things are more likely to happen to them."

"Hmmm."

Shrug. "If luckiness is a trait, I hope you have it."

"I hope so too, it would come in handy."

"It really would!"

"I guess if a bad thing happens, and then only good things happen for a long time, or if good things happen, but then a bad thing happens once, that means that people aren't just lucky."

"Not necessarily. Even people who think people are just lucky don't think that bad things never happen to lucky people."

"Oh. Just less?"

"Yeah."

"How often is normal?"

"I don't know."

"Oh."

"It depends on nonrandom factors."

"Like what?"

"What resources you have access to, whether people decide to be good or bad to you..."

"Resources?"

"Like if you have better or worse access to food."

"Oh. I think I don't actually need food. I do like it though, you're being very nice to me."

"I like you. And it's better if people are nice to each other."

"I like you too!"

"Good!"

Giggle.

"It's nice having someone around."
