Hello, I am princess Luna. I hope it's alright but I had a question for those who are able to read this.

What games did you play as children?

Thank you for your time!

My brother and I often played I know five names and Pryatki. There were no other children around as I grew up so it was just him and I.

That sounds like fun.
How do you play five names and Pryatki? Are they two different games or one game with a long name?

[soulsword]

They are two different games. You play five names with a ball. The person with the ball announces that they know five of a subject and then they name those five. You could say I know five colors and then list five colors. Then you pass the ball. The loser is the one who runs out of things to list or who takes the longest to think of 5.

I won more often than Piotr.

Pryatki is our name for hide and seek. The first person to be the leader turns their head to count and then they go to search for the other.

[unbreakable_king]

My brother and I would play hide and seek in the palace. It was quite fun.

[silent_beauty]

Do they have to be five different names then? That might be fun but I don't know many names.

I do know hide and seek! Someone else mentioned that too. I didn't know it had so many names!

[silent_beauty]

Hide and seek?
So one person would hide while the other looked for them? What if they were never found?

[unbreakable_king]

We had rules about how long it took place.

[silent_beauty]

How long should it take place?
That is if I played here, in the city, with Mono? It might take me a bit to find him if he climbs up somewhere.

[unbreakable_king]

We often left it for a few hours. But with you guys, you could use messages with the Tellphones to end the game. And make rules about climbing.

[soulsword]

No. Not names. Five of any type of subject. Another example would be five fruits. Do you know five different fruits?

Everything has many names. If you want to play hide and seek sometime, I would play with you.

[silent_beauty]

strawberries, apricots, blueberryes, um... cherries and grapes

I think that's all the fruits I know.

Really!? I'd love to play with you! I don't know if I'd be good at it but I've never gotten to play before.

[silent_beauty]

That's a good idea!
I don't mind climbing. I'm starting to learn from Mono too, so he knows what I can reach.
I trust him.

[unbreakable_king]

I'm glad, my princess, that you have made friends with him.

[soulsword]

There! Then you would have won your round and thrown the ball to another.

I bet you would be better than you think. There are probably others we can get to play too.

[silent_beauty]

I see. I am not sure I'd be able to play but once I find my voice, then I will try! I'd like to learn more of these things and that game seems like a good way to do it. I can also play with all sorts of people!

Do you think we could do a big game of hide and seek?

[silent_beauty]

Yes! He is my knight, my teacher, and my first friend!

He's really amazing. Do you know Mono too?

[unbreakable_king]

Your knight? Is he your first? That should be celebrated. And he sounds quite a bit like my brother Kell when you say that.

Yes, I know him. He's a friend.

[silent_beauty]

Should we have a medal ceremony! I read about those in my mother's book.

Actually, my brother was training to be a knight and said he'd be my first but Mono beat him there. It might make Sole sad when he arrives here but I'm really happy. Mono is wonderful.

What is your brother like?

[unbreakable_king]

I admit I haven’t had one in a good many years, but I do remember how they go. And Llewellyn knows someone who is a blacksmith. So yes, we could do that if you wanted.

My brother? Kell is… Kell is amazing. I spent much of my life wanting to be like him.

[silent_beauty]

I will ask Mono. I don't want to do it unless he does too.

I want to be like my brother too. He's amazing. We're the same age but he's so strong and brave. He's my hero.

[unbreakable_king]

Do so, and then let us know. I'd be happy to help you award such a thing.

Oh Luna, you are amazing on your own.

[silent_beauty]

Thank you Rhy!

For everything.

I want to be braver.
I want to be able to sing as my mother did when I was young.

[unbreakable_king]

You are rather brave from what I've seen.

We shall see what we can do to build bravery if you feel you need it, though.

[silent_beauty]

I hope that you are right, but I still want to be braver. Sometimes it feels like I'm always afraid.

[unbreakable_king]

Oh, even brave people are afraid my dear.

[silent_beauty]

Really?
Then how does anyone know if they're brave?

[unbreakable_king]

Bravery is acting even when you are afraid.

[silent_beauty]

Then I will try to do that.
I hope I can do it.

[unbreakable_king]

I know you can, my little sweet one.
