"Oh."

Shrug. "Most parents love their children, anyway."

"Good."

"Yes."

Foods foods foods.

It's endearing watching him try things for the first time!

When he's done she asks, "Do you want to go back to the library, or try something else?"

"What else?"

"Oh, lots of things--looking at art, interacting with animals, learning a skill..."

"Ooooh."

"I'm actually fairly busy, but I could have someone act as a guide of sorts to existing."

"That would be nice!"

She wind-whispers for the servant who brought the shorts, who shows up fairly shortly thereafter.

"Hi!"

"Hello," she says, bowing slightly.

...Amber bows back, puzzled.

The servant, who has apparently been filled in on the general situation if not the specific details, explains, "It's a gesture of respect."

"Oh. Why?"

"...Weight of custom, I suppose. I couldn't begin to guess where it started."

"Oh."

"So! What do you want to do first?"

"I want to see art."

"Okay!" She leads him out of the dining room and to a gallery.

Ooooh.

It has so many arts! Paintings and sculptures and delicate vases and mosaics and all kinds of things, really.

He will be occupied for quite a long time looking at the arts.
