I know you'd never intentionally do it.

[ridestherider]

It helps that I'm pretty likely to make about a hundred language mistakes without knowing.

Do you feel a little better now?

[powerisyours]

Mm. It's just . . . a little stressful. Claudia and Mako came back, too.

[ridestherider]

Did things get complicated already?

[powerisyours]

Well, no. I just missed them a lot. Mako was sort of my . . . you, before you, I suppose. Like a big sister. And Claudia, well.

[ridestherider]

Here's hoping I lived up to my predecessor.

I remember the thing with Claudia.

[powerisyours]

You've been wonderful. You don't operate the same way she does, but ultimately you're similar in the ways you've helped me. Patient. That sort of thing.

[ scratching at his chin ]

I did promise Claudia we could go on a date while she's here.

[ridestherider]

Then you have some plans to make, don't you?

[powerisyours]

I'm not sure what I should do, though.

[ridestherider]

Well, what does she like to do that you like to do?

[powerisyours]

That's sort of where I hit a snag last time, too. She plays guitar and likes to build things . . . electronics and such. As in, give her a toothbrush and she'll build you a toaster.

[ridestherider]

Well ... everybody likes movies, right?

[powerisyours]

I've never spent much time watching them, myself, but she did show me the Charlie Brown movies around this time last year.

[ridestherider]

So get some DVDs together, and have a movie night. Cook -- er. I'll cook and you can reheat it, and you can have dinner, too.

[powerisyours]

Do you know what kind of movies are popular?

[ridestherider]

It depends on the person. You could pick out a couple of several types and choose together?

[powerisyours]

Oh, that's a good idea. I don't have very many, though. Too bad books are sort of a one-person activity.

[ridestherider]

Well, they don't have to be, but that might be for a little later.

We can ask around with people we know to try to get a few more to choose from.

[powerisyours]

September might know, too. He and Claudia were pretty close.

[ridestherider]

See? You've already got a lead.

[powerisyours]

We'll have to see how it goes. His son arrived and he didn't have much time to spend with him back home, so he's trying to do so while he can.

[ridestherider]

September has a son?

[powerisyours]

Mm. He's ten or so. Michael.

[ridestherider]

How sweet.

I can't imagine coming here as a ten year old, though.

[powerisyours]

He's . . . not much different than September is, when he turns into a child. He isn't able to speak, and has difficulty understanding spoken languages. Which isn't to say he's not incredibly intelligent.
