Cookin' Up Some Trouble [Inanna, Reida]

"Friends're important. They'll getcha through anything."

Reida knew that better than most people, at least as far as she felt. That youthful optimism Nanna had was always something she wanted to protect and maintain, so the last thing she would think to do was disagree with a notion like that. The mention of Alastair certainly did lighten her overall mood, though, and she allowed herself a little smile as she answered.

"He's doin' alright. Busier than I am, and that's sayin' a lot. Barely has time to relax these days, but I do what I can to sit him down to a nice meal when he's got the time."

"School's important. Gotta learn all the important stuff so you can make it in the world on your own, ya know. Well, not that everything ya learn there's gonna come in handy, Lord knows I ain't usin' anything I learned in English class these days."

Of course, some people probably were using all that knowledge, but Reida didn't really care too much about linguistics, and she sure didn't speak formally enough that it mattered. Of course, she was still going to tell the child to actually go to school. Wouldn't be a respectable adult if she said anything otherwise.

"I think that's a mighty good idea. Make him a nice big meal and some good dessert, how's that sound?"
