I'll answer, but let's take a bite before it cools down. [ And become soggy. ] One. Two. Three!

[turbulency]

Okay.

[ HE TAKES A BITE

juice squirts... gross ]

[marauderprincess]

[ Waits for him to take a bite. ]

I was born on Earth during my first life.

[ Then she'll take her bite! Making a face as she does. All she tastes is grease and pickles... ]

[turbulency]

[ What?

But ugh... so greasy and salty...

Swallows ]

Your first life?

[marauderprincess]

[ She may or may not have done that intentionally. ]

My first life. This is my second one, at least as far as I can actually remember.

[turbulency]

So you... reincarnated? [ hm ] Do people normally remember their first lives?

digs this out

[marauderprincess]

Yup! I haven't read about any other cases in my world, so I'm not really sure. [ she will hold out her non-burger hand. hand holding?]

I don't remember it super clearly either. It feels like distant memories to me.

[turbulency]

[ They can hold hands. ]

How much of your first life do you remember?

[marauderprincess]

Most of it is like images or short moments. Like I remember walking Shibuya Crossing and looking up at the sky to see a bird fly. Or I remember how much I loved stories about witches. [ Like Kiki ]

[turbulency]

So you don't feel like you've lived 108 years.

[marauderprincess]

Contrary to how those stories usually go, I didn't feel like an adult trapped in a younger body or anything like that. When I remembered, I still very much felt and acted my age.

[ He has no idea how much dumb shit she got up to as a kid... ]

Even now, I feel like I'm seventeen.

[turbulency]

[ Huh. ]

So you don't miss your old life or anything?

[marauderprincess]

I think I miss the conveniences, but I love being in a world with magic. [ do you know how much she loves magic geto ]

[turbulency]

[ That makes him smile. ]

Are you curious about who you used to be?

[marauderprincess]

[ he needs to stop being cute.

There is a pause at that before she shakes her head ]

No. I think if I found out about who I was, I would be further away from me.

[turbulency]

[ He's just being nosy... ]

So you're not the same. [ hums ] I guess that makes sense. I'm not the same person I was a year ago, much less a lifetime ago.

[marauderprincess]

[ ... ]

How were you a year ago?

[turbulency]

More carefree. There was less work back then.

[ He doesn't want to shift the conversation to him. ]

But I get why you wouldn't think of that as your "real" self or anything. People change even without reincarnation.

[marauderprincess]

Did something happen to give you more work?

[ she wants to shift it to him ]

I used to be a proper princess who actually followed the rules.

[turbulency]

[ He shrugs at her question. Who can say... ]

And now you're not? Why?

[marauderprincess]

[ He's so mean! One-sided! She bumps her shoulder into his arm with a pout! ]

Not one bit. I'm known as the heretical princess who doesn't follow traditions.

[ it's good it's not emotion share during this time ]

[turbulency]

[ Yah! ]

What do you dislike about tradition?

[marauderprincess]

[ MEAN.

She does make a face at that question ]

There's a few things I don't really like about it. For starters, tradition dictates that only nobles or royalty should be able to use magic. Tradition would also have me married already so an heir can be made. [ which is yuck ]

[turbulency]

[ Hehe ]

You're not even 20...? [ what is she, a child bride? ] Those are pretty decent complaints.

[marauderprincess]

The world I'm from is still stuck in something similar to the medieval times, so it's pretty common.
