((Hahaha...they're talking about the same house. XD))
"I know it's a terrible thing to say, but it always sounded a little bit exciting. I think it's the chaos of it more than anything that makes it so."

((Oh lol timefuck much))
*Kat sighed.*
"My house has unfortunately never burnt down, even in part, and I can't ask Nana about it because Da and Auntie Ellie say it'll upset her, and that they'll explain more when I'm older. Being seventeen is really very inconvenient."

Sophie nodded understandingly.
"It's so frustrating when they say that phrase. 'we'll tell you when you're older'. Really, how much older do we have to be before we'll find out?"

"Well, Da says his parents told him when he was 18, so I suppose next year... once you've reached your majority, there's not much they can say. Besides, as long as they let me out on my own I can't complain. Most girls my age have to have a chaperone."

Sophie made a face.
"Oh good grief, I'm so sorry. I've never had a chaperone, but...well...at first it was because I couldn't go out of the house, and then because I was sneaking out."

"Da worries, but Mam insists I can fend for myself. It works out; Da does whatever Mam says."

"So it worked in your favor." She said with a smile.

"Most men pretend not to listen to their wives; Da has merely accepted that Mam's entirely in charge." *She said plainly.* "At least, that's what Mam says. I wouldn't have any experience in the matter except for observation."

She laughed a little, though the laughter drifted away a bit as her expression mellowed.
"I only know my mother. My father, he...abandoned her." She said quietly.

"In which case he probably isn't worth knowing anyway." *She said decisively.* "If he's willing to abandon his wife, he shouldn't get to know his daughter."

"You've very right. I personally don't care if I never meet him, but...the sad look in mother's eyes...it makes me so angry."

"I wish I had something to make me angry. If you were a character in a book, say, a swashbuckling pirate queen or a dashing spy heroine, it would be obvious what your motivation was. I'm just... blah."

...or a dashing spy heroine...
Kat almost seemed to know what was in Sophie's heart.
"Hmm, yes. The dashing heroine, like...like a female Scarlet Pimpernel, perhaps.
But you don't need a tragic past, not necessarily. You could still be an adventurer."

"Only if dancing counts as some kind of ancient martial art." *She said, smiling.*

She smiled back.
"You never know...it might be in some exotic locale."
