on being newly homeless

[pinnaculum]

You have made the right decision. It is better to focus more on your responsibilities now. It is one less distraction. [It's always better to do the practical thing, right?]

I am not upset. I won't be returning to the lab and the professor. I can go where I wish now. I have worlds to explore. I will learn as much as I can so I can become a great leader.

Will I miss it there...? [He's quiet for a moment, looking as serious as a kid can look, and then, for once, he gives an imprecise answer.]

Maybe. I met many interesting people.

[pinnaculum]

Yes, that's my name.

[He doesn't know who you are, however.]

Who are you?

[taunted_angel]

Genesis Rhapsodos.

Let's just say, I've met a future version of yourself. [Oh, doesn't he look cute as a child?]

[pinnaculum]

I am pleased to meet you. [He's a very polite child.]

I have heard of other versions of myself. What is he like? [Hopefully he's a powerful and respectable SOLDIER.]

[taunted_angel]

Likewise. You are a very polite young man. Something you keep into adulthood. [He smiled.]

He is a strong SOLDIER and close friend of mine.

[pinnaculum]

Manners are very important for an officer.

[And he's been raised to be an officer. In some ways, he sees himself as one already.

He nods, unsurprised by this news.]

Yes, I'm going to be a SOLDIER, but I must wait until I'm older. [So that makes perfect sense, though his tone seems to indicate he doesn't think he should have to wait. He may be seven, but he's already strong enough.] Are you a SOLDIER, too?

[taunted_angel]

Ah, I see. A noble cause then for a good spirited young man. [Gen liked Seph as a boy.]

I am in SOLDIER, yes.
