This has actually been one of the better things to happen around here.

[solidor_heir]

Well it does not seem to be doing any harm- simply stirring up conversation I suppose.

You may wish to be careful though, someone apparently touched Bridget in appropriately, without his permission. As a matter of fact, many of these newcomers don't have much of a sense of personal space.

How...disturbing.

I shall remember your advice well, Johnny sir.

[skybound_love]

Oi, oi, cut that "sir" stuff out, it's just Johnny. You're making me feel old, Larsa. I'm only 23!

[solidor_heir]

Aha, my apologies Johnny. Bear in mind I am only twelve winters of age, so most people in Discedo warrant a 'sir' or a 'miss' from me.

[skybound_love]

Wouldn't "years" just be easier to say?

[solidor_heir]

A person's life is measured by how many winters they survive, because a long time ago winters were long and tough without all our modern comforts. Then their 'Name Day' is a celebration of the passing of a winter.

Ah, I see. Cultural dissonance, then.
