The Park, Sunday Afternoon, The Grand Tea

[funnyways.livejournal.com]

Mina Harker wasn't particularly fond of children. However, given the alternatives, it seemed a great idea to put them through a bit of culture. Her equal partner in all of this was, of course, the most proper lady she knew of in town: Miss Elizabeth Bennet.

Together, they organized the tables (with extra tiny chairs not just for the children, but if any of the young ones had brought along Mr. Bear to enjoy the event), the tea (of all sorts), and the assorted other bits (scones, crumpets, jam, little cucumber sandwiches and the like).

They also had some rather cheap (they were messy child types, so it made sense not to make them too extravagant) gloves for the little girls, so that they could enjoy the tea properly.

If anyone acted up too much, well, there was Mina Harker on the premises.

"Maybe," Ender said. He didn't sound convinced. "But you know Earth. Except no one's there. So it can't just be space."

"No," Leto replied. "Probably not. What are you doing, Ender?" Was the boy training to be a Mentat, perhaps?

"Trying to figure you out," Ender said. He'd asked a straight question. "What are you doing?"

"Trying to figure you out," Leto admitted, smirking. "And what have you got so far?"

Re: General Mingling

[endsthegame]

"I thought so," Ender just said.

He smiled briefly at Leto.

Leto wasn't surprised by the limited information he received. "How have you been trained?"

"Valentine taught me arithmetic," Ender said. He knew that wasn't the question being asked, but it was the answer he had. The monitor in the back of his neck itched a little, and he wondered what they'd think, if they were still listening. "As well as everything else."

"Everything else must include quite a lot," Leto observed.

Another little smile. "It might," he said.
