Empire? [Excuse him for a moment because that's...wow. Okay. Turkieye is not an empire and Mahmut had never wanted it to be. Empire meant expansion which in turn meant war. It wasn't necessarily his country that did it (because apart from the lesser sultanates, the larger part of the Turkieye Stratocracy didn't have a sultan) but Zaganos Pasha had said, right? Chielo was to be Turkieye's first colony.] What calendar are you using?

She doesn't have one. [Animal casualties are just as often, if not more often than human ones.]
