[ he can steady her! the butterfly flies away. ]

It flew right into my face... That startled me.

[damp]

You must've been pretty still for it to do that.

[ Let's her stand and watches the butterflies. ]

This place really is beautiful though.

[sootprints]

[ wondering if she looks like a tree... ]

... It is. I was really hoping we'd get a space like this.

[damp]

Tired of being inside? [ technically it's still inside ] I think we're all getting a little claustrophobic.

[sootprints]

Yes...

We have a nice flower garden at the manor I live in, too. It's one of my favourite places to go, to get away from the stuffiness of everyday life.

[damp]

Oh yeah, are you a noble, Kate?

[sootprints]

[ there's a pause... but she gives a little nod. ]

[damp]

Sounds like it can get pretty suffocating.

[sootprints]

It does. We're not allowed to leave the house under any circumstances, not allowed to speak to anyone outside of the children's wing, and all of our activities are monitored and recorded.

[damp]

... Seriously?

[ WOW ]

Because they want to protect their reputation?

[sootprints]

Those are simply the rules.

[damp]

What happens if you break them?

[sootprints]

I would be disposed of.

[damp]

What? That's... terrible.

[sootprints]

...

It is.

[damp]

... I'm sorry, Kate.

[ Shaking his head. ]

Is anyone trying to... I don't know. Change things? How the manor is run?
