So you're like a wandering hero? That's so cool.

[saillune]

[Her face is a little red at that but she loves it, that's exactly what she wants to be thought of. Please think she's cool.]

Well... kind of! I had to return to my duties back home for a bit, but I recently started traveling again!

[camena]

[ alex thinks she's so cool???? what is cooler than wandering, demon-slaying, magical heroes? ]

What duties were those? School, right? [ that's a joke ]

[saillune]

It's mostly duties to my country and my family...

Grandpa's really sick right now, so Daddy and I have to step up and help out with a lot of things!

[camena]

Oh, uhh. That's too bad. Will he get better, or...?

[ sometimes old people are just. sick because they're old. she thinks. ]

[saillune]

Um, well...

[There's a sad sort of smile, and she shakes her head.]

He's been bedridden for a few years now, so... you know.

[camena]

Sorry.

That's—hard. To go through.

[saillune]

I-it's okay! I've had a lot of time to come to terms with it.

Thank you, though.

Sometimes I think he might be holding on for so long because he wants to make sure the rest of the family is good and ready to take on all of his responsibilities... So I have to be strong and show that I'm ready for anything!

[camena]

Yeah, that's a thing. People tend to hang on if there's something they want to see through. If they can.

[saillune]

Yeah...

I think a lot of us are like that too, aren't we? They tell us we're dead, but I don't think many of us are going to give up and accept that.

[camena]

No, of course not.

Like, we're still... running around and whatever. So why would anyone give up?
