[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.

considering my family is a very different and distinct culture as well i can relate to this
and we are supposed to be moving away from the old ways ourselves but that is not always easy yes?
it feels as though no one here knows how to mind theyre own business and that they are constantly playing the white knight for one another
the adults are overprotective yet they lack the will to enforce there authority and those who DO are considered to be instantly evil
it feels very inconsistent and hard to follow

You'd think that after a while someone would figure out how things should work around here, any time I tell my parents about some sort of incident with authority they get upset. Mind you they went to Durmstrang, so it's... a bit different than here, I guess.

Mind my asking what kind of culture? Our's is a bit widespread and different depending on the country, but even then the country itself is a lot different than here.

most of my family goes to durmstrang as well and there is a lot of us so you probably know of the jaeger clan?

we are hunters and soldiers
we fight for the joy of it and we are very strong people
our masters have told the elders that such things are no longer needed but even though they are fine with that they have been raised a certain way yes?
so they do not know how to raise us children any differently so we become much the same

[Oh, dear, that actually is something she's heard before. Though it wasn't exactly in the best of terms, to be quite fair.]

I've heard the name mentioned before in conversations between my family and others, but nothing specific.

Your family sounds a lot more interesting than mine does, though I can understand the sentiment of not knowing how to raise someone differently if they have no way of doing so. My situation is a little... to put it kindly, there was a reason my father took my mother's last name instead.

[He wouldn't be surprised or alarmed to hear she'd heard bad things about his family. They are, generally speaking, all true]

nothing specific? really? that is unusual to hear

heh i imagine that is why the old mistress heterodyne killed her husband after her children were born sometimes the only way to stop a dark circle is to completely start over new again :)

[Benefit of the doubt and all that, particularly considering her mother is a bit like a harpy sometimes in her own opinion.]

To be fair, I wasn't really listening to them all that much as it felt like nothing more than idle gossip.

[Wait. What. Letting her quill rest on the paper to cause a particularly large inkblot.] That's... rather grim though, isn't it?

[People seem very keen on that benefit of the doubt thing out here. He finds it both frustrating and funny]

good thing your going to school here with us nice jaegers! they are not so well behaved as us at durmstrang

i guess i never really thought about it its just a story told by the elders to me and its hardly the worst one they have

[Honestly she just doesn't really listen at all as soon as someone goes off on some tangent about someone, though it's mainly because it's not that interesting.]

That so? Guess I'll call myself lucky, then, even if I still have this nagging feeling that I'd have been better off there.

... There's worse?

might have been all the others really like it

sure a lot of my grandpas and uncles would join the muggle wars for fun we get to hear all kinds great stories from them
