Children are unpredictable creatures. Sure, Yoshino was the one who inquired the man but as he answered, she paid him no mind. At the moment, the only thing that took her undivided attention was the triple-flavored sweet treat. Like a dog, she would continuously lick the ice cream on the verge of dripping. By the time she finished, she turned to her accompaniment as he finished his retort.
What's a chaos?Before she could ask aloud, he continued his rant. And as she continued listening on to him, the only thing she could think of was how boring this was getting. The attention span of the average human is 12 seconds or so. A child would have a shorter attention span. Yoshino, with her inability to focus, had an attention span of roughly 5 seconds. Thank goodness he finished speaking. The blue-haired brat was just about to head back home but the very last words caught her by surprise.
The past. There were a million other subjects to talk about but this stranger of a man had to ask about the past. He kept pressing on and on with his interrogation. While Yoshino felt inclined to answer this, she was tired of the pace of the conversation. Maybe if she gave him the answer he was looking for, he would stop. Taking a deep breath, she voiced out the problems that still haunt her today.
"Rich families expect a lot from you. So I ran." It wasn't a direct answer to his question; if anything, it was one of the most vague responses Yoshino ever gave in her life. But she believed this man would be able to comprehend her. After all, his questions proved him to be quite the intellectual.
Being born into the prestigious Freljord family, she was the successor to her father's name. Striving to be the best for her parents was her only goal in life, but eventually, the pressure was too much for the young child, no matter how talented she was. When something bugs a kid, they avoid it. It was natural.
"At least I hope..." she whispered under her breath, hoping that the man known as Maarshchalk (still unbeknownst to her) wouldn't hear her.
