"If there was a button that killed everyone I hated, I probably wouldn't press it ... but if there was a button that killed everyone who hated me, I'd press it without hesitation."
There was the First - Spirits. Those... those are Time, and Light annnnnd Essence. Essence is - Aether and - stuff. Little, little, little bits of dirt, that sort of - stuff.
But - Time's not seen, you just know it's there. Sometimes. Unless Spirits. Spirits are beginning and end of time, all of time? But still see time happen, even if — only after realise hoooow much.
Like Mice! Mice always everywhere! And you don't see them, you just find litttttle nibbles. So 's just like Time! Always there, and you know it, but never ever see it. "What's always there but you never see it, always running away and never caught? Time!' Then your Babushka's will say 'I thought you meant mice'. Then your Dzadhshku will tell you, Mice help Time being all the places, and tell's Time when to change because time goes on and on and on and might forget the - order it's meant to happen and you will have summer in winter and winter in summer!
But in winter, mice are sooooooo small, and get soooo cold, and don't want to do their work for Time, just want to sleep. So you make snow mice, to help them!
Sometimes I wonder if this is why I think I want to toss half the Void-Touch into the pond for a little while. Not a lot. Not the sea. Just a pond. Like you all very much and - know you do not mean to sound so, none of you do — [ She rubs at her eyes roughly and upset. The unhelpful mutter when she outright huffs. ]
— Tables are not common. Not even heated ones. We do not have those - well, I suppose some Fire-Spirit aligned might. But - tables are not common, they are reserved for those of great wealth.
[ THROWS HANDS UP! ]
Tables! If I told Māte and my sisters at home, they would never believe me.
'S different for me. Queen, after all? 'Nd have to feed people. So have biiiig tables in the feast hall. Like when went to Duchess? The party she had - ? Have to feed everyone, evvverrryy night, so have special - room. For it.
[ Another mouthful. ]
But common folk? Just have... little benches, sometimes, but most - have little stools that they sit at. By the fire. 's not much light, so wanna be close to it, to see.

Is there a reason they’re mice? We make snowmen where I’m from.

Very kind. But I’d say some people would probably welcome pauses in time.
