So in case anyone didn't know. Hi. I'm Abraham Frankenstein. Is anyone here besides my mother any good with a sword? Because this reality sounds exceptionally sad otherwise.

Also someone help me bribe my sister into not glaring at me. I'm suggesting ice cream.

Ha. That is good to know. [...] My father was a renowned soldier, and he is also an incredible magician with metal. I'm sure I don't do his legacy justice, but I'm certainly not terrible, either.

Wonderful! We are both also excellent company, and not a modest one amongst the lot of us. How small of a child will you be? Perhaps we can still be friends somehow. I won't mind.

	My father is a surgeon. I don't have his skill in that department in the slightest. I also cannot draw to save myself. I have let my family down. But swords. That's a different story. Modesty is for...other people. I believe I'm about 8? Somewhere around there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Surgery! That's quite impressive, and does involve a different kind of skill with a blade, doesn't it? I'm not much for drawing, either. I can play the piano, though.

I've never befriended an 8-year old before, aside from when I was one myself. Did you still have an interest in swords at 8? Are you allowed to use them then? Perhaps we have other interests in common. What about horseback riding? I apparently have a unicorn here, which rides much like a horse.

	It does, yeah. Much more steady. I cannot do that either. But I have a winning personality. I am allowed to use a sword. Mom's never stopped me. I've never ridden a horse. I like boats? And I'll get into plants a little more eventually. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You seem quite exemplary to me. I'm sure your parents are quite proud. We can continue sword practice, then. It shall be interesting with a much smaller opponent. Oh, and we have a boat as well! I don't know too much about plants, but I do like flowers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say they are 100% proud of me always.

Awesome. I'm amazingly agile for a young person. Do you? Mom has the Pearl. She's a pirate king. It's been my entire undergrad. I'm going to casually leave myself books. I've always enjoyed figuring out the various meanings behind flowers. It's an excellent way to woo people. If sword fighting doesn't work for you.

	That is a lucky thing. I cannot say the same about my own parents' pride in me, alas. I'm sure you could use your small size to your advantage. [...] My lover and future husband is a sailor, at one time a pirate and then a privateer. [...] I think a combination of sword fighting and flowers is best, probably, for wooing.

	I mean, if they're not proud of you, they're ridiculous. Is how I see it. Most likely. Yeah? I'm going to say that that sounds absolutely true because I'd like it to be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They are disappointed that I have no gift for magic, which is understandable. It is very important, in our culture. And I regularly get into trouble, on top of it. Admittedly, there were neither sword fights nor flowers involved in my current relationship. But it is the kind of relationship that could involve either, or both, and perhaps it should.

	abrahamed 2020-05-13 03:13 am UTC (link)
	Magic schmagic. I never had any and I'm pretty sure that hasn't stopped me. Oh. Yeah. I know that level of disappointment. I've gotten into a lot of trouble. I don't see why not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	goldenhelm 2020-05-13 03:18 am UTC (link)
	It hasn't stopped me, either, but it affects the public opinion of me, and my ability to defend myself, which are both quite important as a prince. Especially a troublemaking one. Thank you for the romantic advice, new friend. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	abrahamed 2020-05-13 03:21 am UTC (link)
	Yeah. I'm not royalty, so I can manage okay. I guess if people are attacking you with magic...don't they have other people to keep you alive? You're very welcome. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, I have guards and my brother is quite powerful, he has saved my life already. But I would prefer to be able to save myself, if only so they don't have to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	abrahamed 2020-05-13 03:30 am UTC (link)
	I guess that's reasonable enough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	goldenhelm 2020-05-13 03:37 am UTC (link)
	And, on that note -- cheers to swordfighting! (Reply to this) (Parent)
