I am happy to discuss what you feel might be necessary and what I believe may be feasible given Parliament's current temperament toward us. [There so often lies a discrepancy between what the Mirrorbound aim to achieve through their small amount of political power and what is actually feasible.] I imagine some of the needs previously shared may have changed slightly with the change in ownership.
[Such as the children's work responsibilities and their long, long hours.]
Beyond that, I intended to consult with Ursula Callisitis prior to proceeding with any motion related to this. She has experience as a teacher, but also has been able to successfully bring about education for the refugee children brought to the city a year ago.
Feel free, I'm the owner for now. They'll only have to worry about being children, for one.
[ he and so many mirrorbound have lost their childhood to the same fate or worse. just snatched, right out of their grasps without a say or opinion or even the power to uplift what was thrown. ]
I know her. It shouldn't be difficult if you mention me, though I have a feeling you won't need to.
Excellent. Then we may have better luck with convincing them. A previous barrier was the matter of decreasing the workforce available to the factories. I do not believe that Parliament, even with the best of intentions, would be keen to lose that much production regardless of the cost.
Regardless, let us begin with their education. We may yet be able to expand upon addressing their other needs with time if we are successful with this venture.
[It's not as though the aristocracy of Aefenglom have proven themselves to be particularly humanitarian, particularly if there is a chance for any slight inconvenience to them.]
I should hope not, but I shall all the same as I imagine she may have more specific questions to ask than myself to direct toward you.
[Even setting aside his very personal relationship to her, it would be very strange for her to turn down the opportunity to better the lives of the children in this city. Particularly when it is within her wheelhouse of academic education.]
thank you for being understanding v_v

Thanks for the ear.
