fatima: (ff7 - genesis)
“Has anyone here read Florian Lifiren’s On the Conditions of War? It has been widely discussed and is certainly very relevant to our topic this week.”

The class was quiet for a change, but after a pause a drowsy voice spoke up.

“I’ve read it. It was a very long time ago though, and I don’t remember much of the details.”

The instructor stopped mid-pace and looked at this student of his curiously. “Cadet Rhapsodos, the book was published just three years prior. I don’t think that’s ‘a very long time ago’.”

Sitting in the corner with one hand under his chin, Genesis didn’t even bother to blink.

“Perhaps not to you, sir. But I am eighteen years old, and three years is a sixth of my life so far. So I submit that to me, it has been long indeed.”
