[ When you insert the key and open the door, you'll find the room inside looks like the living room of a mansion. There are several doors, but one in particular stands out to you: it is ornately decorated, the very door's wood itself carved beautifully with gold etched in to make luxurious patterns depicting what looks like the sky and the wind blowing through the grasslands. Though the door is closed, you can see through it—as if it's somewhat transparent.

The room is painted baby blue and a gold-plated cradle sits in the room. Inside, a baby cries - high pitched and noisy, though immediately a nurse comes in to rock the child back to sleep. ]

-

[ Slowly, the scene changes, fading in and out with various silent scenes—the baby sits up, trying to climb out of her cradle; a little toddler dressed prettily with expensive clothes beams pleasantly; a tantrum, thrown by the little girl who's distressed; the little girl holding a puppy, pleased as punch; then the wall becomes opaque. ]

[ In the middle of the open doorway, a young girl the age of 10 sits on a chair, smiling at you. a golden retriever is curled up beside her.

This is your little girl. you couldn't help spoiling her, honestly - after all, she's a noble too, and she should like to become a princess as well. She deserves it! But you also know, with how your history's gone, she's going to have to work to get to the top. Still, you have faith in her - she's your girl, after all. ]

. . . I wonder how she'll feel about an apprenticeship. Shouldn't we ask her...?

Edited 2018-10-01 03:41 (UTC)

If she knows she is threatened, there is a possibility she will refuse out of spite rather than any other personal feelings on the matter. Would you support her if her decision is to martyr herself?

No, I wouldn't.

Somehow you were not the party I expected to object to such behavior.

[ is that a dig ]

Do you approve of telling her the situation she is in?

You aren't a ten year old girl.

[ Idk but that was. ]

We can tell her about the apprenticeship, and explain that our position would be given an advantage by being at the capital, but that our movements there are likely to be far more limited.

I should hope not.

[ Flicking a hand at the wrist like he's shooing away some troublesome insect ]

I am not against either course of action. Sol wished to tell her, and I am not opposed so long as he realized what the possible result was. If some good can come of her apprenticeship, I do not think she needs to fall here. She has not yet reached the pinnacle of what she can become.

Samira, you've been offered a sponsorship.

Oh, huh?

Don't want it.

...

Why not? I've barely told you anything.

Don't. Want it.

No, that's stupid. Even if we tell her, it will have to be to convince her that it's the only choice.

In other words, if she will approve of it without being told the truth you see no reason as to tell her.

I didn't say that. But I'm not letting her make a dumb decision and get herself killed. She's a child.

There is no way of telling how knowing the truth will affect her. She is remarkably difficult to read. On par with yourself, even.

...I don't think she's that hard to read.

I cannot read either of you for the life of me.

Maybe that's your problem.

She does not mind it, much as you take offense.

She might not want to be a princess or work for the court anymore after hearing about this... but this is an important decision, and it's her life. Shouldn't she be told?

I've messed up a lot of this, so I really don't... know what's best.

The issue is are you fine with letting her die for her refusal. Be fully aware of what the consequences may be before making your decision.

O-Of course I don't want her to die! But you're saying it's either lying to her or letting her die... Shouldn't we look for a third option, as her parents?

It is possible she will choose to do as Yasuragi and Maki wish for to act. It is possible she would behave as I would in the situation. There is no way to tell before she is told, so you ought to be prepared for either outcome.

[ d e f e a t ]

If those are the only two possible options, then... I don't want her to be in danger.

Yasuragi is going to try speaking to her without making her aware of the stakes. We shall see how it goes.

Yeah...
