This is Pretty Butterfly's journal. I am terribly sorry, but I'm not in at the moment - I will be glad to get to you if you will leave me a message.

Somewhere around there, I suppose, yes. Perhaps a year or two older, but not more.

[Voice]

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I'm seventeen and a half.

There are a lot of us young people who fight, despite the fact that people who consider us children may not be very happy with the idea.

[Voice]

[red-army-btrfly.livejournal.com]

Ah. Then yes, we're the same age.

... I've seen younger people than us fight for what they believe in.

[Voice]

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Exactly. I've been a soldier since I was thirteen, though that's a bit young for my world.

You're seventeen too?

[Voice]

[red-army-btrfly.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[Voice]

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Hm. I thought you were older.

[Voice]

[red-army-btrfly.livejournal.com]

Really? I thought you were younger.

[Voice]

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Hm.

[she sounds a little amused]

[Voice]

[red-army-btrfly.livejournal.com]

Why did you think I was older?

[Voice]

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I'm not really sure.

[Voice]

[red-army-btrfly.livejournal.com]

Mm. I suppose I see what you mean. Perhaps it's the fact that I've been taking care of my younger sister since our mother died.

[Voice]

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

How old is she?

[Voice]

[red-army-btrfly.livejournal.com]

A few years younger than me - she's thirteen.

((OOC: /makes up number))

[Voice]

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Less irritating than a toddler, I'm guessing?

[Voice]

[red-army-btrfly.livejournal.com]

I suppose so. She's better able to take care of herself than a toddler would be, at least.

[Voice]

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

And most thirteen-year-olds don't try to chew on hair and jewelry.

[Voice]

[red-army-btrfly.livejournal.com]

There's that, too. It sounds as though you have someone with that problem. [Now Butterfly sounds rather amused.]

[Voice]

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Mm; Lisa's daughter Rachel is two.

[Voice]

[red-army-btrfly.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see. [She doesn't know who 'Lisa' is; for the moment she's assuming a close friend.]

[Voice]

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

She's at that age where she thinks everything is a toy.

[Voice]

[red-army-btrfly.livejournal.com]

Of course. Well, how else are they supposed to learn what things are?

[Voice]

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Not putting them all in their mouths would be a good first step.

[Voice]

[red-army-btrfly.livejournal.com]

I think it has something to do with their mouths being more sensitive than their fingers.

[Voice]

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

... Really?

[Voice]

[red-army-btrfly.livejournal.com]

That's what my mother said when I asked her about my sister doing it, at least. Though I could be misremembering, since it was so long ago.
