Hey, you know what I've always wondered? What's so special about turning sixteen? When the castle changes into those modern cities, everyone's prattling on about turning sixteen, there's shows and movies about turning sixteen, but what gives? Back home, you could practically be an adult at ten since that's the legal age to go running around the wilderness with a Pokemon.

Must be nice, having so much confidence to spare.

[billiardsplz]

Sometimes, all you have is confidence to run on.

[squartatore]

And sometimes it doesn't work that way. [okay, that came out sounding a tad more embittered than she planned on]

But really, why do you want to be older?

[billiardsplz]

I know that. [Yes, he's learned the hard way]

Because you have more "authority" when you're older. No one takes you seriously when you're ten or thirteen.

[squartatore]

If that really was the case, you'd never have been allowed to go on travels so early in the first place. [yes, that's still a big deal to her, okay]

[billiardsplz]

Maybe. It's complicated.

[squartatore]

That's the thing with different worlds. I don't really get it, myself.

[billiardsplz]

Sometimes it's just that easier to go with it.
