People are just too hard on rats to begin with. They're very intelligent and cute and smart, yet people concentrate on making them seem like these evil, savage beasts. It's rat slander, I tell you!
But even before you can decide that, there's this whole "we have hormones we cannot be controlled" teen narrative that gets pushed on us, and then most other teenagers buy into that! I'm sure that, you know, hormones are there, but they're not EVERYTHING. It's just a gross exaggeration most of the time. I want to, you know, be in the moment, liking someone, seeing them smile and laugh and doing small things, like watching their face scrunch up when they're hard at work!
[Luz did turn a little red here though, imagining what she said to probably sound really lame].
You know. Feelings. And things.
Oh, of course! The bookstore should be fun, once you've figured out all the boring stuff like balancing the books and making overhead. I'd be living for seeing all that come to fruition!
Right? Trade based economy all the way!
Thanks! You know, for saying so. I appreciate that.
The hat means we have amazing brains, full of thinking. The hat is just a clever camouflage!
Exactly! And sure, we can have a snack night! I'll dig up some of Lysithea's recipes, see what I can cobble together.
[She'd do her best, but even Luz could never be the candy perfectionist that Lysithea was.
Ugh, no gore fantasies please].
Yeah. Though how you get something like that is the real magic, don't you think?
