Time is such a funny thing.

[Lust is sitting outside, clearly enjoying the early evening, and her Spheal and Eevee can be seen playing together in the background.]

It feels as though I just woke up in this world a short while ago, but tomorrow morning will mark a full year's passing.

When I first came here, I had nothing, not even my life. Now I sit here with my own home, family, people I call friends, a vocation of my own. I've been given a chance to know those I never would have before, offered opportunities that had been ripped away, handed the liberty to dictate my own actions and path in life.

And I think I hated this place, a little, at the beginning. The strangeness of it, the unfamiliarity, the changes it wrought in my physical form.

That's the thing about time.

It changes all things, eventually.

It's pretty normal for company to come and go, even here... but I kinda feel you there.

This is probably the longest I've stayed in one place that wasn't a hotel.

How about you? Startin' to feel like home yet?

It's the most any place has ever felt like home, I suppose.

I don't quite know what 'home' feels like.

[foolishwren]

For me, home's always been more about the people around you than any given place.

But it's different for everybody.

I will say, though, this whole world feels more like home now than my own ever did.

[a_sin_for_him]

Yes, I suppose that makes sense.

I think they feel the same. I don't know. I didn't have any personal attachment to any place there. I don't even remember the place I was first born and lived.

[foolishwren]

Eh.

If it's any consolation, I personally think people place a liiiittle too much importance on birthplace.

I bet if you had to guess where I was born, you wouldn't even come close.

I don't know a thing about the places in your world, so I doubt I could make even a vague guess.

And perhaps people do place too much importance on such a thing, but it's natural. I had a people, once, a culture and a communal past. That was taken from me. I feel the loss of it.

[foolishwren]

Yeah, probably not. Anyway, I don't miss it a bit. I'd burn it and salt the earth if I could.

_{[Then it hits her that, considering what Lust said after that, that might have been a little insensitive.]}

... I'm sorry you lost yours, though.

No one should ever have something like that taken.

_{[They should just be able to leave it behind, if they want.]}

That seems to be a common sentiment, regarding unpleasant homes.

[Lust doesn't take the comment personally.]

It's gone now, anyway.

[foolishwren]

Yeah... in this place, you kinda just gotta live in the moment.

I think you guys're really gettin' the hang of that, though. Quicker than I did, that's for sure.
