Corvin Estate, New Thessalonica, Planet Yuma, Coronado
morning of 9 Jan. 825 A.S.
In times of war, the preparation of the youth is important. Within the Republic, schools function - perhaps oddly - at all times and the concept of "summer/winter break" is non-existent. Students begin school whenever their parents see fit and keep at it while taking breaks whenever it's required for one reason or another. So it was that a week after Peter's birthday... he was finally about to go through his first day of school. "Excited?" - Erik asked his son, while helping the boy buckle his backpack. He was genuinely happy about all this, even though this was a new phase in his life - and so shortly after he finally let another woman in his life... "YES! And i can't wait to see Ben today!" - Peter exclaimed, to which Erik chuckled in understanding. "I'm pretty sure he hasn't left home yet. We can go pick him up too if you want to ride with him to school." - the father added before standing up and gently pulling the door open for Peter.
