How do you know what's right?

@Meta

That's... a difficult question. I don't know it, but I believe it.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

Do you really think we're growing? As fast as we can?

@Meta

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

Thank you again.

@Extra

You don't need to grow as fast as you can. You need to grow at a rate that is right for you. And you're all doing that.

*To Zinnia*

You're welcome.

*Opens a portal next to you*

That'll lead you to the guest room, feel free to make yourself at home.

D-do we? I don't feel like most of us do all that much... And Stella's always complaining about how far behind we are.

@Meta

You do. Judging from some common, objective standard is useless. You can't compare a snake and a bird for their ability to fly. Similarly, you can't compare people for what one is good at. You're each doing the best you can, and are constantly improving in some way, suited to you. That's an amazing thing.

*Smiles bashfully*
Come on... that can't be true.

@Meta

But it is. And not just because a father is always proud of their children; you all do so well that even an outside observer would agree that it's true.

Is she meeting your expectations?

@Meta

Absolutely. All of you do, all the time. I'm extremely proud of each of you.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

So her studies are still going well? She's remembering everything she needs to?

@Meta

It sure seems like it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

Okay okay... So, how did Stella do?

@Meta

At helping revive their friend? She did very well.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

How long do you think she'll get to be here?

@Meta

At least a day, probably a little longer. It depends on how quickly she wants to get going, and how she feels after resting.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

Thanks so much for letting her stay, daddy!

@Meta

*Pats your head twice*

You're welcome.

At this point, any mattress would do. Even soft carpet.

@Extra

*Nods*
That's good, because I think we only have one.

@Meta

*Returns after a few minutes*

Alright, the guest room is set up. Just to not alarm you when you see it, it's technically a separate building than the house, but since we use short-distance portals for a lot of stuff, you'll be able to walk straight from one to the other.
