[She also starts to type and then erase several responses, ranging from reassuring him that it was her attempt at a joke before she realizes he might be joking as well, to trying to figure out how to perpetuate the joke and failing, before she gives up on that end as well.
Instead she opts for the cryptic and correct:] With you, he lives.
[She doesn't know which he means which intrigues her, but then it could also be any number of them.]
Is it because it makes you think of gold? Fitting, I suppose.
I released all my dragonflies. I've been thinking of gathering more, or perhaps doing something else. Have you heard of ant farms?
[There's a long pause before she sends a picture of your run-of-the-mill ant farm.]
You can observe them making their tunnels and such. I don't really know what else you can do with it, but it seems fun to watch. I found a kit, but I've found I know very little about ants, comparatively.
They're apparently incredibly strong. A single ant can carry 50 times its own bodyweight. Are there any souls that are ants here?
Use it to live, hopefully. Or fund a people's rebellion, if you ask my captain.
Huh. I suppose that might pass the time, watching them.
But 50 times their own weight? Jesus Christ. That'd be useful. If there's any one of us that's got a soul like that, I can think of a few things to do with that.
['People's rebellion' doesn't sound good at all, but then again, she's a queen. Rebellions usually mean deaths for royals if they get big enough. The name 'Robert' is on the tip of her tongue for a reason she can't begin to understand beyond chalking it up to another dream.
Still--] Rebel against what?
Perhaps I'll ask on the network. I've been wanting to study the insect souls, but it didn't seem polite to do it without asking.
[ because that's what it is, for flint — it's not just england. it's the way the world itself is shaped, as if by burning enough cities he could change the world itself. or break free of it. ]
I'm sure you'll find people amenable to it. Momo's one, he'd probably agree.
[or maybe, what hasn't it done? Life isn't very fair. It's even less fair for those of modest means or below.]
Momo. I think I've spoken with him a time or two before. He seemed nice. Do you know any others? Any women? I feel like it might be less embarrassing for the other person if we were the same sex.

best focus on the bugs, ]
You know what they say about tigers and stripes. I suppose pirates and gold go together.
You released them? Then you must start anew. I'm not familiar with ant farms, but they're undoubtedly self-explanatory? Ant. Farm.
