"No, not very much. Nobody really does, anymore. We're all kinda hoping he doesn't start another war before his term is up, I think."

[fool_rushing_in]

I hope he doesn't, but he's started other wards before?

[vicioussweetie]

She nods. "Yeah, we're at war right now. It isn't going well."

[fool_rushing_in]

*looks worried* Are... you fighting?

[vicioussweetie]

"No, sweetheart, I'm not in that war. I'm too girlie and too rich to worry about being drafted, too."

[fool_rushing_in]

*a sigh of relief, though he fails at hiding it* Rich?

[vicioussweetie]

"I can afford to go to college until the war's over, so if they did start drafting women I'd just need to keep my grades up and I wouldn't be drafted."

[fool_rushing_in]

Aaa. Do you have any other degrees?

[vicioussweetie]

"Not yet. I'm only twenty, Ichigo, even I can only get through school so fast."

[fool_rushing_in]

You're only twenty?!?! *makes a face, then realizes that could be takent he wrong way and waves his hands* Aa! Not that I thought- that you look- ..............

[vicioussweetie]

"Old? Do I look old?" She considers this idea, but doesn't seem upset by it.

"It's okay. Most people think I'm too young to have had Alured yet."

[fool_rushing_in]

W-Well, I wasn't really thinking about your face, just the way you talk and.....give advice...

[vicioussweetie]

She giggles. "I talk like an old lady? I guess that's not so bad. I am old, after all."

[fool_rushing_in]

D8 No! Just older than 20!

[vicioussweetie]

"Oh. Older than twenty, but not old?"
