After finishing one of these paintings, Motes spends some time talking with A Finger Pointing and her partner, ''[[Beholden|Beholden To The Heat Of The Lamps]] of the Ode clade,'' about what sorts of problems she has run into with this childlike identity. Given the 18 year old age limit for uploading, for there to be a child on [[the System]] is inherently transgressive, and this has led to some strife within the Ode clade, with some of them concerned about the optics of this behavior, and how it reflects on the rest of the clade. This, combined with the fact that A Finger Pointing and Beholden are in a relationship — intraclade relationships being something of a taboo up until recently — has made for some strife over the years, and some gentle encouragements to keep these explorations to safe spaces. The most strife seems to have come from the family dynamic that Motes, A Finger Pointing, and Beholden live in, with Motes considering the others as her parents, calling A Finger Pointing 'Ma' and Beholden 'Bee' while they call her 'Dot', short for ''dóttir''. | After finishing one of these paintings, Motes spends some time talking with A Finger Pointing and her partner, ''[[Beholden|Beholden To The Heat Of The Lamps]] of the Ode clade,'' about what sorts of problems she has run into with this childlike identity.

This is confirmed when ''[[Dry Grass|I Remember The Rattle Of Dry Grass]] of the Ode clade'' visits. Dry Grass is a member of the sixth stanza, whereas Motes, A Finger Pointing, and Beholden are members of the fifth. ''[[Hammered Silver|Memory Is A Mirror Of Hammered Silver]] of the Ode clade,'' the first member of the sixth stanza, has instructed the rest of her up-tree instances to cut contact with the fifth stanza due to them taking in ''[[Sasha]],'' who used to be ''[[True Name|The Only Time I Know My True Name Is When I Dream]] of the Ode clade'' until twelve years prior. Dry Grass explains to Motes that Hammered Silver has been quite upset at A Finger Pointing over several things over the years, but that Motes herself has been a particular point of contention for Hammered Silver, and that she's not actually supposed to be talking with her, but she promises that she won't stop, that she'd sooner tell Hammered Silver to go fuck herself. | This is confirmed when ''[[Dry Grass|I Remember The Rattle Of Dry Grass]] of the Ode clade'' visits.

Motes occasionally goes out into the world as a more adult version of herself — which she calls Big Motes, as opposed to Little Motes — looking to be a slender twenty-something with a real flower-child aesthetic. She does this primarily to go to concerts or to more adult venues where she occasionally meets others to have anonymous flings. After one such fling where she gets bit to hell by an otter, she returns to find Sasha working on an upcoming production. They talk about Hammered Silver and her opinions on the rest of the clade, how she lives with her first up-tree instance ''[[Waking World|A Weapon Against The Waking World]] of the Ode clade'' as husband and wife. This is aggravating to Motes, given Hammered Silver's reaction to her own family dynamic, but Sasha explains that Hammered Silver treats this as a role in a play, as though she is merely acting, despite the fact that Waking World very much treats the relationship as real. Sasha also explains that A Finger Pointing has spent many years shielding her and the rest of the fifth stanza from the politics of the rest of the clade, aiming to let them live in peace. She mentions that, as part of this, she had been meeting up with Hammered Silver regularly until she was cut off, but was required, some decades back, to never talk about Motes. She comforts Motes about this and brings her back to her family. | Motes occasionally goes out into the world as a more adult version of herself — which she calls Big Motes, as opposed to Little Motes — looking to be a slender twenty-something with a real flower-child aesthetic.
