Can anyone explain to me why everyone must go to school

School is something to do, at least.

[silvestris_mage]

Well, I suppose I would be bored sitting around and listening to my drone Ma talk about the weather and how I need to wear my skirts properly.

[dreams_are_mine]

Unless you are quite dull, boring is far too mild a word.

[silvestris_mage]

I'm not dull at all, at least...I don't think so. I can't think of a better word, however. Any suggestions?

[moemoebomber]

It's a little annoying, but it isn't very hard.

[silvestris_mage]

It's easy, but very long. At home school wasn't long, but it was much harder. At least, that's what I think.

[moemoebomber]

Really...? What kinds of things did you study at home?

[silvestris_mage]

Just reading and writing at general school, but also you could go to...well, somewhat a school to learn to be a knight, or one of the Queen's Riders or in the Army, or the Provost's Guard. A lot of people trained as apprentices, too.

[bustydefense]

You're welcome.

It varies, but education in the country we're supposed to be in is mandatory until about 18.

[silvestris_mage]

18? Really? At home, most girls were married at eighteen, excepting the Lioness and noble people like her.

And I suppose, myself included. Though I'm not noble at all.

[bustydefense]

Do you wish to be married?

[silvestris_mage]

Eventually, I think. No one'd ever want a crazy girl from Galla, but it's nice to keep looking.

Have you ever married?

[goawayfrance]

You like animals?

[silvestris_mage]

Oh yes! I love animals. They're wonderful to talk to and get to know.

I take it you like animals as well?

[goawayfrance]

Yeah, they are! I especially like fish, but there are all kinds of cool animals in my house..

[silvestris_mage]

Fish are nice. I love the ones that come in warmer waters- they're so colorful. I like wolves, but also most other animals...except chickens. There's always the exception.

My name is Daine. What's yours?

[bell_bound]

I doubt you'll find any useful information in that library.

[silvestris_mage]

I know, but I have to find something to read, or I'll go insane. Numair's been really quiet, and all I have to talk to are the drones.

[bell_bound]

The drones won't talk to me, but I take that as a blessing.

[silvestris_mage]

...really? Why?
