006 [Action]
[Karla is back from the mission, and she is glad for it. The desert heat had gotten to her, and it was more than she could bear. As far as she's concerned, the mission was hollow to her. She didn't get any stronger from it, and she didn't pay much attention to what was going on with the Iron Eye or the Malnosso.]
[Now that she's generally recovered, she pays a visit to the clothing shop to explore the various ladies' clothing. Quite interesting, all the different fashions here in Luceti. She decides to try on a few dresses and see how comfortable they are and how well she can move in them. Among some of the dresses she tries are this, this, and this. Catch her in the clothing shop as she emerges from the dressing room and checking herself out in the mirror. She keeps her sword sheath at her waist as usual, and while standing in front of the mirror, she'll bring the sheath in front of her and draw the sword about halfway. Then she'll draw the sword completely and assume her various poses, just to see how it feels in these dresses, and how she looks in the mirror.]

[She confused, but reluctantly writes the numbers on the paper, and then holds it out for Effie to see.]
Like this?
[action]
Now: List the attributes you would like to see in your ideal mate.
[action]
[This could take a while... Karla ponders some more. Why did she love her brother so much? Maybe her ideal mate could be something like him. Strong...caring...hard-working... Karla jots the words down on the paper, but then she gets stuck.]
[action]
That's a good start....more?
[action]
[Another glance at her list.]
...How many do I need?
[action]
[action]
Well...good-looking is nice...maybe tall is nice, too. He doesn't have to be wealthy...
[Ask her about money, and she'll be clueless.]
[action]
[action]
Huh?
[Have a long, incredulous stare. Is she for real? Raising children might be tougher than she thought.]
Well...n-no...
[action]
[action]
[action]
[action]
[Well, she can't think of any other qualifications she might want in a man, so she'll move on to the next question.]
Well...just one, I suppose.
[She's not entirely sure if she can cut it as a mother...it already sounds so much different from what she had experienced in that experiment.]
[action]
[action]
Well...yes...
[...How many is she supposed to have?]
[action]
[action]
[Her expression shifts from confused to serious in an instant as her hand rests on her sword hilt.]
...Then I would raise my sword to protect my child. And then I would teach him the art.
[action]
[action]
[Since Karla's a girl, there's no reason why her potential future daughter can't learn the sword.]
[action]
Besides family and marriage -- what ELSE figures into your five-year plan?
[action]
[More blinking and incredulous staring.]
There's more??
[action]
[action]
[Where she came from, people either hunted or worked for the families, or they stayed home and did household chores. And then when she began her journey, she's stayed in her own little box.]
[action]
[Says the woman who has grown up in the biggest box of them all.]
