What is this mockery? There are useless children quibbling about on every corner. Though, admittedly, their intelligence level has not significantly decreased from their older state

That's a little harsh, don't you think?

[innes_of_frelia]

Life is harsh. That is all.

[rivetingeyes]

Yeah? That doesn't mean you have to take out your own misery on the rest of us.

[innes_of_frelia]

What misery? What is there that would make me 'miserable'? Supposing, of course, you have evidence to support your conjecture.

[jasmineflames]

...We aren't anywhere near Vale, are we?

[innes_of_frelia]

I have never heard of such a place. But I am not certain of the geographical locations around here.

[jasmineflames]

*Suddenly determined* Then I'll keep looking!

[innes_of_frelia]

Even though it may be a futile task?

[nekonokaze]

I-innes-san why are you doing this? They'll be terrified!

[innes_of_frelia]

I have yet to see a terrified child. It seems that it is the adults who are truly terrified.

To answer your question, it is for their benefit. Living in a lie is only harmful to them.

[nekonokaze]

Really? but there are children who really think their parents have abandoned them.

But...they're just children. They won't understand the situation...

[innes_of_frelia]

They understand more than you know. To underestimate their wisdom is a task that is cruel to both the adults and the children.

[blue_badge]

I, too, join in yelling at the mean guy with the girly hair!

[innes_of_frelia]

You certainly are a loud-mouthed one.

[blue_badge]

Nobody seems to like you much, pal. Maybe you should stop making people mad.

[innes_of_frelia]

I cannot help if what I say makes others angry. Such are the trivialities of life. Curious, though. Are you also angry at me?

[kurokurowanwan]

....

*glares at excessively. there is no way they could have used to be older, they'd remember that! right?! .... though... the crazy brown haired kid earlier had said...*

If you don't like it here, go away. No matter where we are or how hard it is to get here, our parents are looking for us.

My mother and father would never give up if someone was in trouble.

[innes_of_frelia]

The problem is, would they be able to come here at all?

[kurokurowanwan]

They'd find someway! Even if they had to go all the way to the Empress to find a way. Even if this is a whole nother world, they'd find me.

Hmph.

And there are other kids here who I bet their families would search just as hard.

And.... if they don't have parents anymore, then these people are going to take care of them.

[innes_of_frelia]

I never said otherwise. It is in one's maternal instincts to care for children. The only true question remaining is if it is even physically possible for families to enter into this land. They can search all they want, but the possibility that they will actually arrive is almost nil. That is all.
