#i think symon and nia would be the two ministers most likely to infodump about their areas of expertise. and good for them.

random suzerain thought of the night, but i love that despite how assertive and blunt ciara can be (some may say 'hostile' or 'combative', but like, is she or is she just a woman standing up for what she believes), she's very good with kids. obviously, as the minister of education it's clear that she really cares about kids' wellbeing, but as we see in the game with the little girl, she really knows how to make them feel safe and comfortable, especially young girls.

by comparison, i kinda headcanon that nia is like, not great at dealing with kids. not that she doesn't like them or wouldn't want to have one some day with ciara, i think that she's just too used to dealing with adults that she's just completely awkward around them and probably has no idea how you even talk to them without sounding absolutely ridiculous. i can totally imagine a veep-like scenario where she accompanies ciara to a school and ciara introduces her to one of the little girls there, and nia's all sweating trying to figure out what to say cause what do kids that age even like.

'sooo, uhm. do you like, know about the three branches of government yet, or like...?' 'nia.' 'I DON'T KNOW, CIARA. what do they even teach them, shapes and colors?'
