Comments

"Some people. To be fair, I do attend an academy for huntresses back in my world. It's our job to protect people, so our experiences are different compared to someone who runs a bookshop, for example."

Well, maybe that was a bad example, considering what happened to Tukson's Book Trade. They still never caught the people who did that...

"Maybe not, but I'd rather live a short and fulfilling life than the alternative."

"Eh...you'd be surprised. Know a youkai who runs a library. Gets burglarized pretty often by a human witch. ...Though considering how oft she comes by, I'm not so sure she comes just for the books."

"And that's why you humans are amusing and interesting. You have such short lives and are willing to try to live them out as best you can as much as you can. Most youkai tend to settle into as much of a routine as possible." She shrugs. "Not much else to do when you've got thousands of years to live. Though the maid seems content to do as her mistress wants...part of being a human under a vampire though I guess. She seems to have stopped really aging too...though I guess most white-haired humans have stopped signs of development."

[whiteas]

"It was a general example, not a 'singular exception clearly makes it incorrect.' Especially when it seems like that's about something fairly different."

"If that were true, then humans wouldn't have been able to continue innovating through generations. Perhaps youkai simply need to find a way to keep themselves motivated to find new ways to make life exciting. --And for your information, that has nothing to do with why my hair is white."

[aya_shameimaru]

"I don't know about that. After all, I did say it was you humans who have been working hard. Youkai have their own ways about doing things after all, and sometimes it just means we take longer than you'd think because we have such a long-lived view of the world."

"And I dunno about that, Miss Schnee. The other maid I was talking about had white hair and she's a perfectly elegant maid who's a little lacking on development. And you're the second white-haired person I've seen so it seems to be following a trait."

[whiteas]

"As much of a proponent as I am of thinking things through thoroughly, that much time might be a little too thoroughly. Then again, I suppose most of the humans from world should be grateful. With that much time, I imagine if you were to innovate, they wouldn't be the dominant species."

Weiss scoffed at the accusation that she was done developing or underdeveloped. She's honestly not even sure what 'lacking on development' is supposed to mean.

"You do realize I'm only 18, right? I'm not done developing, even if I'm adult enough to function professionally and maturely." When she needs to, at least.

[aya_shameimaru]

Aya gives Weiss a rather sad look. "You honestly have no idea, Weiss. Not only are humans the dominant species, but we youkai, and even the gods, have left the world as a whole to exist in a cut-off dimension called Gensokyo. The world is losing its faith, and the Gods are fading away without it, so by existing in a separate realm we can survive."

Well, Aya's certainly not going to comment on it here. She'd rather keep being able to attend these parties if she could.

"Hm...well I suppose it's true that 18 is at the upper level of developing. At least from the outside of Gensokyo that we hear of, people still are considered young and not quite adults even as old as their 20s."
