Kara Lynn: Will a few souvenirs really be all you want? You know that I could always–
Jany: No! I won’t want anything I haven’t earned myself.
Besides, I want this trip to be a gift for you. I didn’t always treat you so well back when Gran owned you.
(Case in point.)
Young Jany: So she can heal from anythin’?

Parent (offscreen): Jany!!
Young Jany: What?! She’ll get better!
Past Kara Lynn: Should I take it out, Master?
Kara Lynn: As if I would hold a thing like that against you! Besides, you’ve grown so much since then.
Jany: If you mean “grown” in the metaphorical sense.
Kara Lynn: If it would make you feel better, I can always become shorter than you.
They’re soon to be my new OTP to rival Reseda and Timothy! :3
I like Jany. She has strong ethics. ^_^ What she did as a wee baby bunting doesn’t count; little kids can be jerks even when they mean well.
Poor Kara Ann, having to put up with all this.

Well, if you say something like that, you really expect people not to have a test?
You asked for pointers if the UK English went a bit off-track. Just a little thing, but as a Brit myself I don’t think anyone says “grandmum” – I don’t know if “grandmom” is common in US English, but the terms I’ve heard in common usage are: grandma, gran, nan, nanna, grandmother, granny. I’m not willing to say that “grandmum” couldn’t be a regional variant (we have a lot of those), but it’s not one I’ve ever heard (and Surrey is Home Counties, close to where I currently live), so likely to be similar).
Heh, I knew that line sounded off. Fixed now, thanks!
Jany is so cute!
OK, these two are just plain adorable.
