Funny, that's my answer!

The part about the claws, I mean.

[he can't quite keep a straight face]

That part? Really?

Definitely not the part about the people.

Oh, of course not.

[ she's very convincing, right? ]

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

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

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?

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.

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

When I replied to your locations text? I used one there. A little smiley face.

Oh, the - colon and the parenthesis? I was wondering what that was.

Well! That solves that mystery.

[ smiles and then motions to her smile ]

You can make a frown using the other parenthesis.

Huh. [what are all these text-based things he's learning, gosh] Are they as common as the shorthand?

It's all mixed in together.

That'll take getting used to. But - at least I know two of them now?

I'll coach you through it. Don't be afraid to ask.

Thanks. I'll direct all of my text-based questions to you, then.

And questions in general, if they come up.

I will. Thanks, Kara.
