At what point does something get the right to be called a person? What do they need to do to deserve that?

Has anyone ever thought about it?

Is this a hypothetical or do you actually want to know my hobbies

I put my mind to weaving and sewing and needlework

[ Hornet and play don't belong in the same sentence..... ]

I use it to craft things. But you can use it for play as well.

Yes.

They can also be ways to practice your skills. To improve yourself. To produce something that will turn a profit. Mastering all the skills a hobby requires can be a life's work.


[ Weaving and needlework, working with thread similar to the silk she pulls from her own body - those things are important to her on more than one level. A reminder of her mother and her mother's people, opportunities to practice what she had precious little time to do otherwise - but also to heighten her understanding of what she can do with her own powers. It's the little things. ]

[ They're as blunt as she is and honestly, she can respect that. ]

Everyone does different things with their time. For some, it's all they've ever wanted.

No. [ Is she going to elaborate? Nah. ]

I'm not saying that to a stranger.

Being friends in one conversation works for some people, but not me.
