Freethinking Female

"You're lucky Mokie." Brunhilde said while they hung out in the Kaiba's Game room. A slice of heaven as She often called it. Her favorite place to hang out with her best friend/partner in crime.

The starling had a few noticeable changes, one of the main one beings she is slightly taller, but also her ears were no longer round. They got slightly pointer as if overnight. This was all result of puberty finally hitting her, but...that didn't mean it was all good.

"I mean...Technology is way better than magic. We get all this cool stuff like phones, video games, the internet...." She listed off before looking at Mokuba. "And your brother is way cooler than mine. He's basically a king who made a kingdom despite everything that happened to you two." Brunhilde said while grabbing a controller to start playing smash.

Minimal arguing and confrontation. Kaiba reminded himself as Brunhilde giggled. She was clearly taunting him with the gibe about Yugi and clearly didn't know either of them all at. Games and challenges very rarely blurred together for him (one an activity done for amusement, the other a task requiring effort and determination to overcome), for other people on the other hand... well, most were simple-minded individuals.

“Mighty Grouch? Heh, is that the best you can do?” he couldn't resist taunting in regards to one of the least scathing names he'd heard.

Repositioning herself hadn't worked as Narce could no longer get comfy amongst the ruffles of purple hair. But she knew where she would be able to settle with no issues and so took flight.

"Thanks again." Timaeus rubbed the back of his neck grateful for the others help when he'd told them something had come up and he needed to get home, but as far as he could find there wouldn't be any flights for awhile abd ut would ready be a long flight as it was.

Not to mention then having to grab a boat to get to the little island as it had no airport of any kind.

"You don't have to come all the way, my mána will be meeting me at the dock."

Not everything was easy to learn though. One such phrase 'Miláo líğa eliniká' (I can speak a little bit of Greek) got him quite frustrated at not being able to say it correctly. He gave it his best shot, but after a dozen times of his tongue not cooperating to pronounce the exact sounds he was trying to mimic it was beginning to seep through in his tone. 

Timaeus must have sensed his frustration as the subject focus was then swiftly moved on to ordering food from a 'kafenio' (cafe) or 'taverna' (small restaurant). The 'gyro' that had been recommended to him sounded okay, so he'd definitely give it a chance when it came to getting something to eat.

“Seems that you've covered the basics,” Kaiba commented on his friend's teachings that he was grateful for. “Not only have you taught me the basic formalities, but also ensured I won't go hungry or thirsty. Anything else beyond that this is a bonus.”

People who ask you to ‘educate’ yourself while not having actually read any books themselves, while not being able to intelligently defend their own ideological positions, because by ‘educate,’ they actually mean ‘parrot what I say, flatten all nuance, wish away complexity.’

People who wield the words ‘violence’ and ‘weaponize’ like tarnished pitchforks. People who depend on obfuscation, who have no compassion for anybody genuinely curious or confused. Ask them a question and you are told that the answer is to repeat a mantra. Ask again for clarity and be accused of violence.

And so we have a generation of young people on social media so terrified of having the wrong opinions that they have robbed themselves of the opportunity to think and to learn and to grow.”
