[Excuse the owlish-eyed girl with the weird pasted-on smile. She has things to talk about!]

Attention...!

I will not use names, because I don't want to embarrass them, b-but...! I needed to tell a very particular pilot something very important! And that is this: if you do d-decide to propose to Miss L — to, ummmm... to your girlfriend, you should not give her a ring made out of spaceship parts. Because that's kind of strange to wear. I believe that sort of advice should be applied to everyone, though...!

Unless the person you love really, really, really enjoys spaceships.

I suppose we should all wear what makes us happy!

I do admit, I've always wanted jewelry... I-I mean, I know they're very expensive most of the time, but I've never gotten to wear any before. Maybe I should make some! Oh, but I don't think I would be very good at it... Is there a particular way to make nice jewelry, even for someone like me? Necklaces and rings and....

....

I don't think I can wear earrings. That seems like it would hurt.

Ah!! I apologize, I guess I've been thinking so much about different topics! Like — games, and stories, and stuff to wear, and so many new things that I've never gotten to enjoy myself before. I think I even have.... friends! Do I? Is there a level that I need to reach with people before I can be friends with them? P-perhaps there's a way to officiate friendships...

Maybe with rings, like marriage! Friendship rings!!

[stop you're killing him]

Ha! Yes you are! You're totally cute!

I don't know...

That's so kind of you to say...! I think puppies and kittens are much cuter!

[blushblush blush]

I think you're pretty close to that.

[he's not generally much of a kid person, but gosh what a cutie-pie. and just like their last conversation, there are just so many things about what she's saying that he identifies with like whoa.]

And you've never worn any jewelry, huh? I wish I had any that wasn't just earrings--I'd let you borrow some.

[She shakes her head.]

No, sir, I don't think I have! I can't remember wearing any...

Did it hurt? To get them pierced? I suppose I do have a very high pain tolerance...

[UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE YEAR.]

Oh, no. It was no big deal. I bet you'd do fine.

[KINDRED SPIRITS. cut from the same sad little cloth.]

If you wanted to get your ears pierced sometime, I'd go with you.

[does he even remember her name? it's questionable. but he still throws the offer out there like they're already good friends.]

[She brightens a bit at that.]

You would? I wouldn't want to trouble you by taking your time.
