[This is slightly awkward, just... slightly. There's a lot of inkblots and scratched out words to the point of where the whole beginning isn't readable. But she finally finds her words.]

Um. With all the weird things that are going on around here has anyone happened to have... like, the clothing they're wearing be changed? I know I didn't put on what I'm wearing today and that's really kind of disturbing that it happened without my knowledge. There's absolutely no way this could have happened, mind you.

Onto another topic, then, to make this... less awkward. With a lot of us coming from different countries and cultures, what kind of cultural things are different for you compared to other people around here? I know it's been a weird experience for me to get used to all the different things, considering it's not just the fact I'm from a different country but one part of my family are part of a distinct different culture. Even though we don't... really practice or adhere to it all the time, it's easier dad says.

Call me curious.

Feliks. I got a letter today from home and you won't believe this but apparently one of the families from father's clan was asking about me. I'm really hoping it's not an attempt to ask what I think they want to ask.

~~I still call dibs on Alida's baby!~~

Maybe they just really really really really reaaaaaally like horses.

I thought your parents were totally into hooking you up with Roddy. Isn't that why you guys hang out like every summer since forever?

~~Stop that, I don't even know what's going to happen with that nonsense.~~

I guess that's possible, too. Hopefully.

Actually, we were around each other since young children due to our parents having been long time friends since they were in school. It's just our mothers that go on about that stupid matchmaking stuff.

~~Still got dibs.~~

Either way though, I totally wouldn't worry about it. It's not like they're gonna do anything when you're not even home. That'd be like totally medieval!

Nobody does that whole arranged marriage thing anymore, strangers are way too scary for that stuff.

[Yeah. Sure. There's no chemistry between you at all. Feliks totally buys that.]

~~Not even born yet...~~

Thing is that it wouldn't be unheard of, luckily I'm not a part of a different clan in another country as they still do arranged marriages to this day. I got off lucky on that one.

I wouldn't put it past my mother to be talking about those kinds of things while I'm away, just to feel it out and see what would supposedly be the best for me or for the family. You know, the usual worries.

[Shh. There totally isn't any there at all, they're just close friends.]

~~Can't take back a dibs.~~

Wow, you guys should like get ahold of the BBC for a reality show or something. Draaaama to the max.

If you're worried though, you should write them how you feel about the whole thing. Parents don't exist to make their kids unhappy with weird marriages and selling their horses behind their backs.

... Reality show? [Yeah, yeah she kind of doesn't deal with television. At all. Even if they had a TV she wouldn't have any time to ever watch anything.]

I'll probably do that, though I don't know how much good it'll do. We'll just have to wait and see on that one. And they wouldn't sell my horses like that, the only ones that dad would ever allow to be sold would be any that aren't mine or aren't part of good breeding stock.

It's kinda like a documentary but with more booze and table flipping.

See there's nothing to worry about then! Just like, relax. Worry about it if it becomes like an actual problem.

Why would anyone want to watch something like that? Sounds kind of dull and boring to me. And stupid.

Right, right. I can't just be jumping to conclusions at a vague message like that, it could be something completely harmless.

Hey like don't knock it till you try it. You'd like all the super hot sexual tension.

Yeah! Just chill. You're just making yourself crazy for no reason.

Sexual tension? ... Keep talking, you have my attention.

I can't help it, any time they say a Roma family is coming to talk to them about something I get antsy.
