1. I worship cats.
2. I did not finish high school.
3. I wish I was taller.

You're the second at least to have mentioned a 'high school'. What is that?

Do you know what a school is to begin with?

Yes, of course I do, child. Do you think me that uncivilized?

Well, duh.

Anyway, high school is one of those modern world things. It starts after basic schooling, like teaching kids to write and read, and it offers a wide variety of topics about the world, physics, mathematics, other languages, arts, history and what not... Aside giving young people more than general knowledge and perspective about the world they live in, it helps them figure out what they want to do for a living.

I see, so between basic education and a trade school or a college for those well off enough to have the option of either. Young teens, I assume, and upper-class mostly? To be able to afford such a thing and not complete it sounds shameful.

I certainly don't know you well enough to guess, but cat gods are common enough that I suspect at least that one is true. Which leaves me at even odds between the other two. I think the idea of you not finishing your education is funny, so I'll guess that you don't mind your height.

There are public schools, and some of the paid ones allow scholarships, but that would mean having perfect grades all the time. 「And when would they duel!?」

You're right, though cats are not nearly as common here as I wanted, and no, I don't mind my height at all.

Would it be cheating if I said the second one?

It depends, did you actually cheat, or is it jarring obvious?

It was fairly obvious.

I could give you a boost of you would like any help with the last one.

What gave it away?

Nah, it's fine. It's just every once in a while I can't reach the cupboard but I can manage.

Only the usual tells. I am aware of your people's affinity for cats and you have never appeared too bothered by your size.
