“i am afraid that answer is rather different for a woman than a man,” she says, a delicately arced eyebrow setting off the tiny, playfully-quirked smile. (her true answer, of course, is that perhaps they had never truly been allowed to be children - - a fact she can only truly see in hindsight. “and so i could only answer for myself and not for you.” but that playful smile shifts and fades, becomes an expression many degrees more thoughtful. “in truth, though, i do not think i would wish to be a child again. not while these years pass as they have been. bad enough that our true childhood was marked by death and war and blood. i would rather face such things as we are now, not as the children we once were.”
