[It seems like she's trying to reach for something small up on a high ledge. There's a stack of tables arranged in almost a staircase as she grabs whatever it is. She doesn't know who's around her and what the result of touching it is going to be.

But once she's grabbed it, the memory bubble starts, Rebecca staring down at her own hands, uncomfortable with the revelation she's almost making.]

It's about the same, really.

I'm sorry about how awful your life has to be at home if this is normal for you.

[londonstar]

No apologies needed. Despite my unwilling position as Lord, everything I've done with it has been a series of decisions that I've made on my own.

[ he could have traveled the rest of the world or have given up his dreams to become a magus. he could've led a more normal life, suited for someone like him. probably the life that his mother would have wanted for him.

and have been thoroughly unhappy. ]

As they say, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

[disclosures]

Well... as long as you can live with it, I guess? Living with your own decisions is the important bit.

[She's definitely heard that saying before. But for her it's more like when life gives you lemons you live with the sourness for 28 years.]

[londonstar]

[ how incredible, they've been dealing with sourness for the same amount of time. ]

Sure it is. Magi are the only fools that will willingly and recklessly pursue something that will bring them nothing but hardships.

[disclosures]

[It's not a great feeling.]

And you're a Magi. Trying to tell me something about yourself, bud?

[londonstar]

Don't refer to me like that, Miss Bunch.

[ hMPH??? WE MAY BE HISTORIANS BUT??? BUD???? ]

But yes. I said what I said, and I don't take it back.

[disclosures]

Fine, fine. Lord El Melloi II... Do you have a shorter title we can use or is it just this? You said this is a title you're just holding onto for the moment.

[londonstar]

Lord? Professor? Not "bud?"

[disclosures]

Professor it is. fellow co-worker.
