I have a question for you all today.
What sorts of things do you do with your families?
Or did, in case they're not here, you no longer lived with them at home, etc.
Did you have many family outings?
Did you stay at home and watch television together?
Did you play card games or board games or something?
How did you enjoy your time together?

Or...tell me about them maybe...
Do you live with both of your parents?
Do you have any siblings?
Are you the oldest or the youngest?

...I guess I actually have a lot of questions.
Sorry about that.

I spent a great deal of time away learning and studying. When I came back, I was excited to share what I had learned with him... but he did not see it the same way as I, and in his zealous defense of what he believed he attacked me.

Oh...
That must have been difficult to handle.

It is quite sad when brothers - blood or otherwise - must battle with each other. Eventually we did make reparations, but things could never be the same again.

The spirit isn't quite what you were looking for, I assume. You wanted the trite trivialities of bonding, as a sort of distraction for your own emotional distress I would assume.

I'm sorry to hear that...

Ah, good guess.
Though I may have been looking for something specific, I'm interested in hearing everyone's stories.
Even if they are sad.
Learning more about the people that surround me is something I've always wanted to do, so I welcome everyone's tales.

Learning more about your surroundings and the people that inhabit them is an excellent desire. It's something that I wish that more individuals would engage in... there is a great deal that can be learned by observing. I commend you on your wish to do so.

Honing that skill is what allowed me to perceive the intent of your message... your phrasing and uncertain tone indicated that something greater was on your mind rather than what you were requesting.

Thank you.
I have an interest in people, and I want to get closer to them.
Make new friends.
And the best way to do that is to get to know them.

You're certainly correct in your perception.
I'm impressed!

I hope you have not lost any of your friends, to necessitate making new ones. That would be quite sad.

Thank you, young miss. It's something of a hobby. Sometimes I am correct and sometimes I am not, but each time my skill grows just a bit more.
