Huh? No, it's science!

[maidenmercy]

Science...?

[science does exist in Exalted but it's Different. there's no Essence involved in this!]

[bondsofsuffering]

Yeah. It's a big machine with, like, electricity and stuff.

[maidenmercy]

...something like harnessed lightning?

[bondsofsuffering]

Umm... Yeah, kind of!

[He does not actually know how trains work.]

[maidenmercy]

I think I...sort of understand? [absolutely does not.]

[bondsofsuffering]

Yeah! It's just electricity.

[They can not actually understand together.

But soon, it takes them near enough to the park to walk the rest of the way!]

We're here!

[maidenmercy]

Oh...this is really nice. [looking around, once they're there.]

[bondsofsuffering]

Pretty... C'mon, we need to find the stamp machine, too!

[maidenmercy]

[admiring all the beautiful flowers] It should be around here somewhere...

[bondsofsuffering]

[He will politely walk at a slower pace so Persephone can do so! ...Until he spots the machine anyway, then he's tugging on the other child's hand.]

There it is! ...I think we have to play something first, though.

[maidenmercy]

What should we play, then?

[bondsofsuffering]

[Looking at the list. Looking at Persephone. He doesn't seem very action-y, so...]

Family outing?

[maidenmercy]

[it's true. and nods.] Siblings admiring the flowers together, or something else?

[bondsofsuffering]

Yeah! I never had any siblings before!

[maidenmercy]

I have three, but they're all older sisters. So I've never had a brother.

[bondsofsuffering]

Whoa... so your family's big?

[He's peering at the flowers, to make sure it counts!]

[maidenmercy]

[nods] I don't live with them anymore, though. [kneeling down next to the flowers]

[bondsofsuffering]

Huh? Why not?

[maidenmercy]

I'm our village's sacred maiden. So I live at the shrine now.

[bondsofsuffering]

Oh... So you're really important?

[Cool...]

[maidenmercy]

I wouldn't really describe it like that...

[bondsofsuffering]

You're not?

[maidenmercy]

The local administrator is the one who rules our village in the name of the domain lord.

[bondsofsuffering]

Oh...

It still sounds special, though?
