[beathach]

Do you know how to cook?

[takingkarabusiness]

I can get by.

[beathach]

That already sounds like more than I can do.

[takingkarabusiness]

Big fan of those new fangled TV dinners?

[beathach]

Those came out when I was a kid. [he huffs out a laugh] But yes - I'm a big fan.

[takingkarabusiness]

They were totally new to me when I got to Earth.

I was so scared of the popcorn machine, too, I hid under the table.

[beathach]

[his brows furrow]

What, like - the one at the movie theater?

[takingkarabusiness]

No, the Danvers had an air popper at home.

[beathach]

Ah. Well - I don't blame you for hiding, those things are noisy.

[takingkarabusiness]

There was... a lot to get used to.

[beathach]

I can't even imagine what that'd be like.

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, you're adapting to here.

[beathach]

Mm, that's true. There is a lot to get used to.

[takingkarabusiness]

What do you like best?

[beathach]

Being able to take a shuttle to another ship or the moon is pretty exciting.

And - I'm sure once I get used to it, the communicator. [he holds up his hand] The claws make it a little tricky at first, but I'm getting used to it.

But mostly . . . mm, I'd say I like the people the most.

[takingkarabusiness]

Funny, that's my answer!

The part about the claws, I mean.

[beathach]

[he can't quite keep a straight face]

That part? Really?

[takingkarabusiness]

Definitely not the part about the people.

[beathach]

Oh, of course not.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she's very convincing, right? ]

[beathach]

[oh yes totally. That's why he's shaking his head and laughing]

[takingkarabusiness]

You should see some of the nails that some girls back home can text with. They're really impressive.

[beathach]

If they're longer than my claws, then I don't need to see it to be impressed.

[a pause] A text is - sending a written message, right? On the devices?

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah, and little faces and things made out of the letters. It's like the main form of long distance communication for people my age.

[beathach]

I learned some of the shorthand from Opal, but I don't know about the - er, little faces.
