Let's say you love someone. And no, this isn't hypothetical, I won't pretend that it is and insult your intelligence.

Let's say you love someone. Unfortunately, the culture of your world dictates that if it's ever publicly known that you're in a relationship, you'll be killed by an angry mob. Any potential child between you two will hasten the end of the world by a hundred years.

How do you deal with the knowledge that you're never going to be able to have a public relationship, have children, et cetera?

That is a good question. How does the other person feel about it?

...I'm not certain. It's a difficult topic for me to bring up.

[originaldragoon]

I see... Do they even know about the situation and what the results could be?

[cawing]

We're not at the stage where children are likely. ...But, no, not really.

[originaldragoon]

You should probably make them aware of the situation, and then perhaps you can work through it together.

[deadlydoctor]

You ignore those feelings and move on.

I suppose you're right.

[cawing]

I'd rather not.

They're a weakness, why would anybody subject themselves to that?

[cawing]

A pleasant weakness if it's a weakness at all. And difficult to get rid of.

Hopefully things will go well. That situation does not sound pleasant at all.

[cawing]

No, as a matter of fact it's not.

Well that first part does explain some things.... But I had no idea about the last part...

[cawing]

I'm sorry. That's how interbreeding works with laguz.

[originaldragoon]

What happens exactly?

[cawing]

The child - they're called the Parentless by the laguz and the Branded by the beorc. Laguz are already mistreated in this world in beorc countries - in many places parentless are killed on sight if they are foolish enough to let their heritage be known.

All because of the way they were born...

[cawing]

My world is not a perfect place, particularly in this area. We have a long way to go.

[Locked]

[originaldragoon]

Neither is mine... Does anything happen to the parents if it is discovered that they had such a child?

[Locked]

[cawing]

We'd be torn apart.

[originaldragoon]

... That does not seem fair at all....

[material_guy]

Say fuck it, and be one of those speedy-assed world ending forces by crushing every little bitch in that angry mob that's tryin' to tell you what to do!

[selfished]

Suck it up and find someone new, I'd say. More fish in the sea and all that.
