FFXIV Write 2024, Day 30: Two Heads Are Better Than One
“But. Why do I have to learn this? This is dumb!” Saoirse flung her pencil across the room so it pinged into their fancy china cabinet.
Char didn’t really have an answer to that question. Why DID they have to learn math? What did math have to do with the forest, with hunting, with running—oh. “I guess you need it to run the kingdom someday. For budgets and stuff.” Char crossed the room to retrieve Saoirse’s pencil and place it back next to her homework sheet.
“You mean when WE run the kingdom,” she corrected as she picked her pencil back up. “Two heads are better than one, you know.”
In some cases, yeah. But not all of them. And honestly, Char sometimes felt like they were one head instead of two anyway. Not that she could ever say that. Char had other dreams, other plans. Things she couldn’t say or share because she wasn’t even certain yet what they were.
“Budgets are dumb,” Saoirse concluded after a few more minutes of studying.
Behold, their future leader. Doma was doomed.
