GONTA say protector.

he is much strong, strongest i ever see. but no use for self or for money. just for protect.

exception is SANGUIS time. i try to help, but... is hard for i too, so. i think maybe find fight partner is good idea.

<span style="font-family:courier new;”>—Is it difficult? Trying to maintain a relationship in a place like this?</span> <small>[ a personal question, perhaps, but she’s curious… ]</small>

[lumberlady]

difficult?

maybe is more difficult than home... but is no problem for i, i think. GONTA and i make promise, always say truth, and always forgive if strange moon happen...

more difficult is family... doctor say no can have children here, but also no know when can go home? husband want children... i feel same. is sad.

omg my trashed html.

[mucked]

[ if only (she thinks) that might be enough for everyone. simply being honest—and always forgiving. peg isn’t certain she can be that sort of person. infinitely patient; impressively good.

but she’s glad to hear that there are those who can be. ]

I’m so very sorry, Konoha. I can only imagine how much more eager this must make both of you to be back home. Assuming that being here is the only thing standing in your way.

[ she can’t relate—not exactly—but she can feel sympathy. ]

i loved it anyway

[lumberlady]

[tbh... it helps when your husband is kind of physically prevented from a lot of the cheating options]

doctor say LUNATIA is only reason for no children... i check.

many want to go home, i think... but yes. much want go home.

... PEGGY want go home? goodbye problem of other people from same place?

[mucked]

[ goodbye problem of other people from same place—mmhm, peggy couldn’t have put it better herself. ]

I’ve got unfinished business. That’s reason enough to want to go back home.

[lumberlady]

business not finish? what is miss PEGGY 's job?

[mucked]

[ hmm. she thinks about her answer—and decides to go with the simplest truth that still doesn’t reveal too too much. ]

I work for a federal agency. [ but maybe that’s too specific, too cryptic for someone whose world might not follow the same structures. ] For the government. Nothing too exciting—[ she lies ]-but if I’m not there to do it, I doubt the work would ever get done.

[lumberlady]

woman work in government? is amazing! PEGGY must be amazing also.

[mucked]

Women do, yes. Although, if you ask me, it’s not nearly enough.

[ she brushes off the compliment—not because she doesn’t want to accept it, as peggy does think she’s rather competent thank you very much—but because it’s simply not the thrust of the conversation. ]

It’s easy to feel outnumbered.

[lumberlady]

how many is there?

in i ‘s world, i think there is zero... unless perhaps can count shogun ‘s private woman.

[mucked]

Rather depends on one’s department. The secretarial pools are practically all women. Typists, too. But in other lines of governmental work, and in other capacities, there’s far far fewer. Back home, I was working out of a satellite office with only one other woman on roster.

[ that said, she’s convinced that rose could out-agent all the rest. given the opportunity. ]

What’s expected of a shogun’s private woman?

[lumberlady]

SECRETARY is like... servant, yes? do cleaning and small task and run errand?

shogun's private woman comforts shogun! also give advice and give children.

[mucked]

A secretary shouldn't be like a servant. But I'll admit that they're often treated as one.

[ —not that there's anything wrong with being a servant. one of her dearest friends happens to be her other dearest friend's butler. that said, that's not the life that secretaries signed up for. ]

And they most certainly aren't expected to give their employers children. I can't say we have positions...like those. In the government.

[lumberlady]

what SECRETARY do then?

i think is most like government job for woman i can think... if come from poor family, family is most happy for daughter to be choose by shogun for OKU. i hear in story, can eat most good food and have fine clothes and be cared.

[mucked]

Filing, typing, managing calendars. Answering phones and fetching coffee. It’s not a bad life.

[ it’s just not her life, and she bristles when anyone at the agency behaves otherwise. ]

Just as I’m certain it’s not a bad life for some of the women who put themselves under a shogun’s care, like you’ve described. But I can’t believe it’s for everyone. I’d sooner take my chances elsewhere.

[lumberlady]

i see! is assisting.

but PEGGY is doing man's job? yes?

i, too! we same.

[mucked]

[ —this is tricky. there’s a fire in her, a real stoked fury, that wants to come out strong and explain to konoha that there are no men’s jobs and women’s jobs. only jobs—some of which happen to be dominated by one or the other.

but that’s not konoha’s fault, and making this into a bigger conversation than it needs to be helps no one. so instead, with consideration: ]

Are you talking about your farm?

[lumberlady]

[gotta take it slow with them 1630 gals... but Konoha considers herself rather forward thinking... for... her time, maybe...]

farm is all people 's job! but i work on lumber yard in i 's world. other worker is all men, but i foreman because i jinba and know mountain well!

and i 's boss is much powerful woman. do many things woman not do.

[mucked]

[ ah, see, that’s what she likes to hear… ]

People are often surprised by the jobs they can do, I think, if only given the chance.

Do you like being the yard’s foreman?

[ in the end, that’s what matters most. ]

[lumberlady]

possible is so! PEGGY sound like i 's boss.

is good job, yes! can use skill, get good pay, and support parents. much good.

to leave is small regret.

[mucked]

You’re leaving the lumber yard?

[ she asks because she can’t be certain—with konoha’s typing, it could simply be a misunderstanding. perhaps she means that being here, being stuck on this planet, is like leaving the job and that’s why she feels regret. ]

[lumberlady]

yes. is to be married, so i is going to husband 's village.

is in mountains, with no humans. so no jobs like in i 's village.

[mucked]

But surely there are still jobs in his village. If you wanted one.

[lumberlady]

i think there is no jobs... and no money.

much work to be done! cooking and gathering and farming and hunting and laundry...

but village is possible wrong word... more like herd. small herd.
