It certainly couldn't hurt to try. Once the ball itself is made, the filling type can always be changed. If we ever come across anyone giving away leather goods or if the skins of these animals cure well, we can give it a try. [ Except it gets a little laugh out of her at the thought, shaking her head. ] I don't know the first thing about turning skins to leather, though. We may have to ask around. Those panthers and deer should be ideal, though.
[ Her smile turns a little sad with the certainty he delivers his words with, listening, and she thinks back on the year spans for a moment. ]
I think you'd be correct; the first world war was in the early 1920s, then the second was in the 1940s. Your parents could have been involved in the Gulf war in the early 1990s, perhaps, but that was brief and they were likely a little young for that. The Afghanistan war would have been more likely, but you would've known if that were the case; you would have just been born, I believe, but still aware if they'd been involved. It is good that the war didn't touch your family, at least.
But I will say again that people strive for peace, even if a select few ultimately ruin it time and again. It's an easy framework to destroy by very few with power, but most will fight to regain it. I don't know the intricacies of where you've come from, I'll admit, but people are always strong, and stronger together.
[ She'll offer him a hand, first to shake but then to place the bag of cookies in if he'll allow her a handshake in the first place. ]
It was very nice to meet you, Carl. I should be getting back, but I hope you'll come by medical if you ever need anything, or check in soon to see about making that ball. I'll see what I can scrounge up. You can always reach me on the devices we were given as well; don't be shy.
