Yeah, yeah. I like the Union Jack better.

You are British, then?

British and proud. America confuses me.

But sorry, introductions. I'm Kuri. And you're?

I am still getting used to it myself.

I am Diana. It's a pleasure to meet you, Kuri.

Diana, huh? Roman goddess of the hunt. I think. I always get her and Minerva mixed up. But no, Minerva's wisdom, isn't she?

I am named for Diana. Minerva is a goddess of many things, though wisdom is among them.

Cause Minerva is Athena and Diana is Artemis. Greek deities are easier for some reason.

The Romans borrowed from the Greek and the Etruscan mythologies to create their own.

Yup, yup. The Romans didn't do much 'cept fight wars. And they lost those wars quite a lot. Persians completely decimated them tons of times.

Are you a student of history?

I'm extremely very interested in it, but no. I'm not even a student now, actually.

You need not be in an official school to be a student.

Hm. I guess I am a student. Of my mum's. A bit. She taught me stuff about life and now I'm trying to implement it.

Mothers are a wonderful source of knowledge.

Yup, they are. Especially mine.

Symbolism tends to be more popular than what it symbolizes.

I understand these typically represent America, is that correct?

The United States of America, yes.

Odd. They are common enough symbols.

Together? Were you trying for another allusion?

Together or separately. Many other nations use stars and stripes on their banners.
