[ YES. ] Oh. Do you mean football? That's a sport, not ... a military drill.

Some people might take offense to that, you know — calling it willy nilly.

[pebblestone]

[ oh my god ]

Football? But they used their hands. [ this doesn't make sense??????????? anyway. ] If there was a pattern, I failed to see it.

[persistor]

It's a very complicated sport, with a lot of strategies. [ ... ]

All so they can get a ball to the other side.

[pebblestone]

[ fascinating. ]

Have you participated in this football before?

[persistor]

Not recently.

Did you have fun watching?

[pebblestone]

It was quite an ordeal. The man next to me simply would not stop shouting and no one participating ever seemed to have a look of satisfaction on their faces.

[ too many red flags, probably. why does anyone watch this sport. ]

[persistor]

They're very focused on winning. The players and the fans alike.

[pebblestone]

Shouldn't they be more focused on honor and the art of being a gentleman?

[ Why is Fred so old(e). ]

[persistor]

... Just a difference in priority, I think.

They do shake each other's hands after a game. [ Sometimes. Maybe. It's been ages since she's paid attention to sports. ]

[pebblestone]

[ That's something, he guesses. ]

I suppose that's acceptable.

You said you had not played it recently. [ apparently not since she was five??? ] Do you not enjoy the activity?

[persistor]

It's not really my thing. [ She's no Olmarq, she has her own Selections. ] I don't mind watching as much.

Do you have sports where you're from?

god i hate answering any questions about fire emblem, barfs nonsense

[pebblestone]

There are bonding activities amongst the Shepherds, and children will frequently make up their own activities, but nothing quite so organized as this 'football' you speak of.

I confess I would be somewhat displeased if I were to find one of my soldiers participating in this football instead of properly training.

[ How boring. ]

sorry this is the life you signed up for

[persistor]

[ Ah... ] You could always try incorporating it into your training regime. I think it build character.

A little creativity never hurt the mind.

i'm dropping

[pebblestone]

[ He doesn't have a single creative bone in his body, sorry Red. ]

Do you speak from experience?

goodbye fred, it was nice while it lasted

[persistor]

[ ... ] I guess so.

I'm a singer, where I'm from. [ Only because he was kind enough to tell her about his world. ]

:wave:

[pebblestone]

A singer?

[ how fance ]

Do you sing for a royal court?

[persistor]

Not here.

We don't have royalty where I'm from, either. [ She's gonna regret sharing this much soon. ]

[pebblestone]

[ ??????????????? ]

Then who governs your people?

[persistor]

We vote. On everything. [ literally. ]

[pebblestone]

[ that sounds like garbage tbh ]

And whichever vote receives the majority is then put into place?

[persistor]

Exactly.

how have we moved onto politics, i hate this

[pebblestone]

I suppose I can see the merit of such a system. One particularly selfish man or woman cannot as easily ruin the lives of many.

But it must take quite some time, to collect the vote of every man and woman.

rip us

[persistor]

Ours are digital. We collect it instantly.

... Kind of like if you were to send a message on this. And someone on the other side collects your message, and counts.

well i'm ending this, goodbye politics

[pebblestone]

[ How fancy. Even if he doesn't fully understand.]

How novel.

[ ANYWAY ]

Regardless, I apologize for taking up so much of your time. Thank you for satisfying my curiosity regarding the televisions and football as well.

it was nice having you

[persistor]

No problem.

Let me know if you have any other questions. [ Just none about herself. ]
