- Did you hear him, Noor? "Hope you continue your science career, even though you are now married" and yadda yadda. He is such a hypocrite!
The families had come together to celebrate Mezamura's wedding, and Teteriu had just finished his speech for the bride.
- I'm sure he meant well, Eira. He wants what best for his sister doesn't he? And Aurelio seems like a decent man.
- Yeah, it's nothing wrong with Aurelio, he is fine. But Teteriu just say things he doesn't live by. Pretending to be something he isn't. If he really meant what he is saying, why didn't he let me continue my studies? And this big party... giving them your old house... he is just showing off.
- The party is great though, and we all needed something to celebrate after this terrible summer.
- Oh sweet Astanna, yes! First uncle Itaja, then Telamon, and Nashuja wanting to leave Manthos for good. It sure hasn't been joyful.
- Well uncle's death wasn't that unexpected, he was getting older, and I'm just grateful Nashuja was still here when he passed. But Telamon...?! Did you learn exactly what happened?
- Not really. They just told me he was found dead outside the shelter where he lived. From what I've heard he had stopped drinking, but maybe he had a relapse? Or maybe he was robbed? Or struck by lightning? I don't know. I'm still in a bit of a shock, because deep down I did hope to see him again.
- So how is aunt Simadhne coping? Is she feeling better now?
- Well you know. Since we moved in after uncle's death she's been kind of busy with helping with the children and cooking for us all. But when Nashuja is leaving... I fear she will fall apart. We will all miss him so much. And knowing we will never see him again... It is unbearable!
- And Pamesijos? Will he go with him?
- Not if I can prevent it, Noor whispered. How can I loose them both?
- Really makes you think about the sacrifice they made, doesn't it?
- What do you mean? The war?
- I mean our parents Noor, when they let us both go. We were so young! About Khará's age actually! Can you imagine how it must have been for them?
- Well it was different. They wanted to keep us safe.
- Yes, exactly! Not so different from this situation, when you think about it.
- I've never thought about it that way, but you are right.
- But I'm not sure if I ever could have let Khará go, under any circumstances, so I totally understand your reluctance to let Pamesijos go with Nashuja.
- You will have to let her go some day anyway...
- What?
- I mean, she will move out, get married, have her own household. All of our children will. It is terrible, but true!
- Noor! Do you have to talk about such excruciating future visions? Can't we just enjoy this party and have some fun?
- ♫♫ Ναι, να ζήσουν, ευτυχισμένοι για πάντα! ♫♫

Minecraft armour designs modeled by the new default characters!
I had the most fun with the design for the chainmail - since it's uncraftable, I imagine that Zuri got this set from some defeated skeletons, and chose to accessorise/augment their armour with what remains of their foes. (also, chainmail socks are real, though they're fabric with chainmail attached to the top and sides. Standing on a bunch of rings every with step is just painful to imagine)
Following tradition, the gold armour is as impractical as possible :)
swords, axes + spades, pickaxes + hoes, complete sets, tridents bows etc, spears maces etc

Heyyyyy
This is weird, but sorry for crying in the tags of your drawings of the new MC skins, but in my defense Makena and Noor would be adorable together and I had just eaten too much pasta so I was emotionally squishy
i know what u are

Ben and her android friend, Noor, who is currently inhabiting a military drone unit.
The idea is that its pressure and heat-sensitive internal sensors, meant for violence and self-assessment in battle, can instead be used for pleasure- and Noor himself doesn’t understand what he’s feeling.
