[ Saten posting on the journals? Indeed it is! Something has been on her mind, and given that today's today, well. Might as well ask. ]

In my world today would be the first day of the new year. I've been here long enough to know that's not the case in this place.

Why is the new year here an arbitrary day in the beginning of winter? What significance does that hold?

[ Not that it's been bothering her. Just, you know. Curiosity. ]

Social graces, maybe? The sake of being polite?

I don't believe in politeness for politeness's sake. Perhaps once it's been earned.

Re: voice;

[universal_charm]

Do I even want to know what it takes to earn you being polite?

My respect. And that comes from strength.

Re: voice;

[universal_charm]

And let me guess - your version of strength involves a lot of blood.

voice;

[first_darkness]

It can. But it doesn't have to. Does yours?

Re: voice;

[universal_charm]

Preferably no. I try and avoid blood.

That seems like an unnecessary restriction.
