What is a prahm? Is it important?

It sounded like an event or something.

[soldieringblue]

[a soft sound of thought, off-screen a moment.]

I think I can look up the meaning...[slight pause.] Let me...hold on--

[broroona.livejournal.com]

What are you doing?

[soldieringblue]

[a pause. half-distracted:]

There's a database...It's free to search, so I'm simply looking up the word--[please hold...


unsure:] ...I don't think it's an event. Unless, spelled differently...

[broroona.livejournal.com]

It could be. I was just sounding it out.

[soldieringblue]

[a faint murmur, then silence.

THEN:]

--Ah. I think...the event you heard about...It's a kind of party. [slight pause.] A formal event for young people.

Do you think it's an initiation ceremony?

[soldieringblue]

I...don't see any mention of...[hmm.]

No. It seems to be a kind of closing ceremony. Taking place at the end of a school year.

[broroona.livejournal.com]

So it's like a victory celebration?

[soldieringblue]

It seems that way. Where did you hear about it?

[broroona.livejournal.com]

I overheard some girls talking about it. But I've seen it mentioned here.

[soldieringblue]

Girls of a schooling age, I suppose? That must be what they were referring to.

[broroona.livejournal.com]

I guess.

It's weird.

[soldieringblue]

Which part is?

[broroona.livejournal.com]

I didn't know they still did celebrations like that.

[soldieringblue]

Were there ones similar where you are from?

[broroona.livejournal.com]

I doubt it. Although I'm kind of glad about that.

[soldieringblue]

It's not something that interests you, is it.

[broroona.livejournal.com]

Parties and balls are for nobles. Not me.

[soldieringblue]

There's no established nobility in this country, I believe. People here don't seem to mind an excuse to celebrate with excess.

It must be similar to the parties that Remus has hosted in the past...[a slight pause, reflective.] I'm glad. It's good to have something positive to look forward to, especially in the face of some of the things that have gone on recently.

[broroona.livejournal.com]

You're going, then?

[soldieringblue]

[a hint of a laugh in his voice.] No, I don't think it would be a good idea. I'm far too old for an event like that.

[broroona.livejournal.com]

Old?

[soldieringblue]

Young people continue studying much longer than they do in the world I'm from, but even so...I'm not near that age anymore.

It would have been nice to experience it at the time, but I don't mind.

[broroona.livejournal.com]

You don't look old.
