CHILD PRODIGY

         { 🔧 } “I knew it! Your clothes totally gave it away! Genuine Khura’inese fabric, huh?” The girl cheered, smiling without a care in the world. “Holmesie taught me how to be really good at guessing!” She continued. When the man asked why she was on her own, and where her ‘tutors’ were, she just kept smiling.

“Oh, don’t worry! Holmesie is nearby! And my house isn’t very far from here! Plus, I can protect myself! I have lots of cool inventions to keep me safe if I need it!” She said, pulling out a gigantic weapon from who knows where. However, she seemed to only want to prove a point with it, because she quickly put it away again.

“But anyway, enough about that. It’s nice to meet you! My name’s Iris Watson! 10-year-old inventor, author, and medical doctor! I know lots about London, so I could help you find your books if you want!”

         genuine khura'inese fabric? perhaps it was not that common outside of his kingdom, he hadn’t been paying all that much of attention to how everyone else was dressed. ❛ holmesie… ❜ he mindlessly repeated, it seemed that whenever he had to interact with a child he became… dull, bland even. ❛ i suppose you are taught well at school, or outside of it- not many people recognize khura'inese fabric unless one points out the common patterns used on it. ❜

         he grew alarmed when he saw such a big weapon being handled by such a young child- (kids just keep getting weirder, man!) but he remained serene, it was a characteristic part of the “prosecutor from another land” and all the training he had would not go away at the sight of an oddly sized weapon. ❛ i wonder if i should be worried about this… i suppose not. are you a child prodigy? they seem very common in europe. ❜ some of his coworkers fell onto that category, so truly there was nothing to be surprised about.

         ❛ how did you manage to become a medical doctor at your age? ❜ honestly, there was not much that he could ask that would receive an answer that made sense to him. a few seconds passed… and soon, he noticed the last name he had just heard- wait, it couldn’t be her… could it? ❛ i am searching for a couple of books written by someone named watson- would you happen to be the same person, young miss? ❜

        { 🔧 } “Ohhhh, you’re looking for those books!” Iris said, seemingly coming to an immediate conclusion, simultaneously ignoring the man’s question about how she received her MD. “Yup, I’m the one who wrote them! All of them! I have copies of all of them back at my house, if you wanna come with me! I’ll even give you a special sneak preview of the book I’m writing right now! Like I said, my house is right nearby, so we can just head over there real quick!” She was clearly very excited to meet someone who was a fan of her works.

          { 🔧 } “Hmmmm…” Iris hummed to herself, clearly lost in thought as she stared at the man before her. She had run into him by complete chance, and he didn’t look like a London local, so she was currently trying to figure out where he had come from. Luckily, she had been studying geography, so she had a good idea already.

“Hey, you’re from the kingdom of Khura’in, right? That’s a looooooooong way from London! What are you doing here?” Iris asked. After all, while London was a popular tourist attraction, they hardly ever got visitors from such areas. “I bet you’re sightseeing, huh? You’re not here for a trial, because there aren’t any going on right now, so that’s gotta be it!”

         the child before him got his attention- he looked down (she was so short, it almost took him by surprise!) and gave the kid a long stare before crossing his arms. ❛ you are very good at guessing, my homeland is the kingdom of khura'in. ❜ why did she want to know why he was there? perhaps it came with the thing of being so much younger, that curiosity came with age.
