No children had shown up for William this weekend. He was... unsure how he felt about that, actually. The only children he'd ever dealt with were the younger ones at the orphanage, and that responsibility mostly extended to defending them- often physically- from being bullied by others.

He'd quietly done some research on the sudden appearance of children in Fandom, though, and had learned that they were presentations of a myraid of possible futures. It might have been comforting to know that somewhere, he hadn't made the same mistakes that his father had. Unless of course he had, and any potential children who chose to appear resented him...

Maybe it was for the best that no one had showed. He was just going to keep telling himself that.

"You never had a rambunctious period of your own?" William asked, his face the very picture of innocence.

Rilla was not going to fib, though she was certainly tempted. "It was a very short one," she said. "I was a quiet child. Mary Vance was loud enough for several children."

"I know the type," William said with a knowing nod. He'd been the type, honestly. Learning to read had tempered his need to be into everything... well, somewhat. He was still prone to acting without thinking in the name of science.

"She is more friendly with my older brothers and sisters than she is with me," Rilla said, "which I don't really mind."

Rilla and Mary weren't ever going to be particularly intimate friends.

"Do you miss them much?" William asked. It was, perhaps, a somewhat more serious turn of conversation, but family was sort of on his mind at the moment. "Your siblings, I mean. I can guess regarding Miss Vance."

"I do," Rilla admitted. "I'm a dedicated correspondent, but it's really not the same. My sisters are heading into midterm examinations, so their letters are more like notes right now, and Jem's handwriting is practically illegible. I will try to get home for at least part of the summer--they'll all be at home then."
