I can't tell you what happened yesterday, but I'm glad it seems to be nothing that has upset you.

Fifteen days until what?

primrosella March 7 2009, 17:31:41 UTC

Quite the contrary, it's...something very good, I think. Something very good indeed.

Until my eighteenth birthday!

revengeisalie March 7 2009, 17:35:30 UTC

I'm glad for you, on both accounts!

primrosella March 7 2009, 17:44:12 UTC

I'm glad, too. It was March when I left home, but August when I landed here, so I've had to wait several extra months just to get back to where I started.

revengeisalie March 7 2009, 17:53:22 UTC

Then you're actually several months older than eighteen!

primrosella March 7 2009, 18:04:54 UTC

Well, I'm not really sure if I went backwards or forwards, though. I've lived through enough months to equal eighteen years, yes, but time is strange between home and here.

...Besides, it'd really be a shame to have skipped over a birthday as important as my eighteenth.

revengeisalie March 7 2009, 18:24:10 UTC

That it is - though, strangely, I think the time of year in which I left home and the time in which I arrived were roughly the same.

Oh? What does the eighteenth signify in your culture?

primrosella March 7 2009, 19:07:54 UTC

Still, that's convenient, at least. Some people left from summer in their homelands and landed here in the middle of winter--which is problematic, to say the least.

Adulthood, mostly. And if I were still at home, it'd be around when I could start considering offers of courtship, if I wanted.

revengeisalie March 7 2009, 20:16:34 UTC

Oh, I know. I'm glad I was saved at least that bit of confusion.

I see. Eighteen's pretty late for that - I mean, not that much, but... I've known of girls who became mothers at fourteen. And I myself might very well be, err... married by now.

primrosella March 7 2009, 22:44:36 UTC

Still, there is something to be said for arriving in the winter--at least then the fountain's frozen over.

I've heard, on occasion, of arrangements made back home for people to be betrothed to each other before they turned eighteen, but marriages before that age tend to be quite rare.

revengeisalie March 7 2009, 22:52:42 UTC

Do people often arrive by landing it in?

Which is not really a bad thing, I think.

primrosella March 7 2009, 22:58:19 UTC

I did. And ruined my best dress while I was at it.

I don't think so, either. Honestly, I don't much want to get married, though--well, not yet, anyway.

revengeisalie March 7 2009, 23:05:50 UTC

Ow. Could you get a similar one? Strangely enough, the City does seem to have a supply of flame-patterned kimonos.

But eventually?

primrosella March 7 2009, 23:09:07 UTC

Luckily, there was a very nice tailo--er, no, what was it? Fashion designer, I think she said--here, and I was able to have a replacement made. It's not exactly the same dress, but it's similar enough.

...I wouldn't mind falling in love and getting married at some point, no. I think it'd be rather nice.

revengeisalie March 7 2009, 23:19:09 UTC

How fortunate!

... I think so, too.
