Could anyone tell me about the comic books in their world? If your world has comic books, I mean. I want to hear about what kinds of stories they have, especially if they're about superheroes.

[Hubert loves the comics he got from the Christmas ship, but he can only re-read them so many times. And all he can find in the shops on Empieza are regular books. Which he's not necessarily upset about, because he likes books in general, but...they don't have superheroes. PLZ TO ENTERTAIN HIM WITH EPIC STORIES OF GOOD GUYS WITH COOL WEAPONS BEATING UP BAD GUYS.]

You could probably ask Jaune about that. He seems far more into those types of things.

[ He's all hero-this and hero-that, he has to be right? ]

[bitty_blue_brother]

Yeah! I talked with him earlier about them. He says he's read a lot.

It figures..

[ She doesn't sound like she's judging him too harshly on that, it just makes sense to her given some of the things he says. Oh well. ]

Why are you interested in them?

voice;

[bitty_blue_brother]

Well, they're really cool, I guess! The heroes all have amazing powers or weapons and they get to defeat bad guys and save innocent people from peril. It's a lot of fun to read!

[It's super escapist in general, but especially for someone like Hubert, who's a timid and sheltered little rich kid.]

Do you want to be a hero when you're older?

voice;

[omnomnomurice]

...I don't think I can. I'm not strong enough or brave enough.

[He sounds resigned to his lot in life.]

How old are you? [ He doesn't seem like he's very old at all. This is an important question and it probably sounds like Weiss is judging the hell out of him by her tone of voice. Giving up if he's really as young as she thinks he is is something she sees as out of the question. ]

[Hubert flinches a little at that tone of voice. I-is she upset with something he said?]

I'm ten...
