[createswithink]

[On your screen there are three Issuns. Two of them are the normal, glowing, fairy-like one inch tall boys. The light of the younger of the two is considerably weaker than the older.]

I have to get back to studying… Grandpa’s going to get mad.

You’re stuck here until this is over.

I have to memorize--Oi, oi. You don’t have to do anything. You

You grow taller? A lot taller.

[makewayforroze]

Are you her friend? You'd be really cute to play with!

[createswithink]

I do consider Roze-chan to be a friend.

Unfortunately, both of my younger selves will claim they have no time to play.

[makewayforroze]

[There's a deep frown]

Why not? Playing is important.

[createswithink]

It is important, isn't it? [/vague]

[makewayforroze]

I'll help so we can play. You don't always have a lot of time for it.

[createswithink]

It's not that they don't have time. It's simply that they don't claim to have it, or that it can be used on play.

[makewayforroze]

Why are they lying?

[createswithink]

They are not lying either, Roze-chan. [/still vague]

[Turning around, she seems to be talking to people off screen]

I don't understand what he means.

[A quiet mumble can be heard.]

Oh. Can you play then?

[createswithink]

[The older Issun smiles.] I don't you'd have much fun playing with an old man like me.

[makewayforroze]

I play with older people sometimes too! A lot of the kids are sick so it's okay!

[createswithink]

Sick?

[makewayforroze]

Really poor towns get a lot of sick people. That's what the grown ups say.

[createswithink]

Ah. [In comparison to modern, or even the pseudo 1900s FMA timeline, ancient Japan has a lot of villages that are considered 'poor'. Doesn't mean they get more than the norm of sickness. As it were, Older!Issun is from the modern future.] But you are fine?

[makewayforroze]

[It's more the lack of food, the inability to attract a good doctor in a war torn town,, being so far away from any "modern" facilities, and the number of children left without parents but a child doesn't understand the mechanics.]

I am okay. I've never gotten really sick.
