Characters: The Summoner and YOU
Setting: Around!
Format: Action to start, but I’ll follow
Summary: Somebody's po’d about suddenly being not at home!
Warnings: None at the moment

[He’ll only stay in this room as long as he’s forced here, he resolves. Being caught so completely, staring up at an unfamiliar ceiling, is neither pleasant nor comforting. In fact, if he allowed himself these thoughts anyway, it rather terrifies him. Nothing like being dropped into an unfamiliar and likely dangerous situation with a body that won’t move. His mind reels as he waits: Gotta be a highblood plot, right? But how would they have found him… hmm. And what about his cavalreapers? Everything feels off-kilter and strange, and the very moment he can, he slips across the communal respiteblock floor, wings half opened, and tries the door]

[AND LATER he’s moving carefully through each floor, suspicious and irritated. His head is held at an odd angle as he explores, lowered slightly so he’s forced to peer up through his brows to see, but his horns carve a sharp, dangerous arc through the air, settled at just about goring level. It’s not really the best threat, but he’s made them work for him in the past when he’s been desperate. And hey, if this isn’t a desperate situation here, without his soldiers or his beasts or his weapons, then he doesn’t know what is! So yeah... watch out, guys… This troll fit to snap at the first thing that looks at him wrong…]

Well they do, but if your gonna have kids you gotta look after them. It's the rules. At least when they are babies, once they are bigger you don't need to look after them so much, so they can help you work or some people sell them. But that's not really nice and people shouldn't do that.

[...sort of understands? At least the selling part. He got sold once, and it was one of the worst... experiences of his life. But, lusii can go with their kids, so it wasn't like he lost his guardian or anything. In fact, a guardian abandoning its charge like that sounds like a pretty unconscionable thing to him. Wow, maybe humans are not the squishy gentle things he thought they were... Hmm]

How do they uhm... get stronger if adults are always taking care of them? Do the 'parents,' put them through their trials, too...?

[Romeo thinks for a moment not really understanding what the Summoner meant by trials] Well the parents help them get strong, and teach them stuff so they are ready to be adults and work.

Why wouldn't they just, make the lusii do it...? That seems uh... more efficient, and also lusii don't abandon their wigglers...!

Well because humans don't have lusii, and parents don't always abandon their kids but the kids have to go away at some point because they have to grow up.

[wait wat]

Why...? Shouldn't, guardians watch over their charges... as long as they can?

[He shakes his head] No mister Summoner, if they look after them for ages then the kids never learn how to grow up! Or how to be adults.

[...maybe he should stop grilling this kid about how humans live their lives. It's sounding more and more disturbing as he goes along. Sighs a little]

I'm still not sure, I understand. But I guess that's okay... for right now.

I guess it's very different than Lusii because they stay with you forever and everyone has one, but you got to share parents and they are people to. Lusii's job is to protect their wrigglers right?

Well sometimes parents need protecting or helped so then the kids have to be the one that helps them!
