please do not lick the fourth wall

Maki wrinkled her noise, mismatched ears flicking in thought. Maybe she had isolated herself too much from the world at large, but no one had ever really told her not to, you know? She didn't feel like she was missing out though, since everything was so vivid and poignant in her head, sometimes it was easy to just be swept up in the fantasy of it. When in reality she didn't leave home much at all, didn't know many folks outsider her family. But to be fair it was a big family, stretched all across Boreas all the way to Auster, apparently.

"Easy for you to say," she pointed out, not sounding bitter or accusing Delphi of anything. But it was easy for her, or at least on the outside it looked effortless. She found herself leaning into Delphi's side, taking care not to smoosh her smaller sister. Dad went out and made friends easy-peasy, so why couldn't she? "I'm kinda busy though, I have loads to write down." Or rather, she'd talk at her rat who'd take notes for her, same difference really.
